To start with, congrats on your new acquisition, you'll learn more with this Lugers than any that follow... But, to the problems at hand... remove the RH grip, you should be able to actuate the hold open while holding toggle back? It's tricky, but after a little effort you'll get it... Once the toggle is locked back / open, (only way it, the take down lever, can be moved!!!) you should be able to swing the take down lever down 90 degrees to allow removal of the side plate, and, also the receiver after pulling back all the way on the toggle, to let the hold open fall down and release... If you get that far, we will re-visit and discuss the next move, moves.... best to you, til...lat'r...GT...
