Questions About My Well-Worn Plexiglass Handled Luger

Is it properly in battery, but the receiver has been cut back a few mm for some reason? That could be dangerous. Never seen a proof mark that close to the front of the receiver, and it looks like there is a chip out of it on the right side at the front.

The frame is definitely a few mm proud of the receiver front...

it's a mixed parts gun. You could spend all kinds of money to restore it, but then you'd be out all that money... with no improvement in value. Just shoot once you've determined it's safe...
