Greetings My First Luger

[DavidJayUden]

I suspect that this group will almost unanimously advise against shooting it, because if any numbered part should fail you will be out a lot of money.
Take your next available $1000 and buy a shooter. Cheap investment/insurance.
Generally those black plastic magazines were not numbered to the gun, but with Lugers we should rarely say "never". I'd like to see a few close-ups of the magazine and particularly the numbers.
If you care to learn about value, check out Simpson, Ltd. for some estimates on similar guns.
I will agree that your Luger is exceptionally nice! Congrats. and welcome to the forum.
