safety question

My uncle was in the port town of Wilhelmshaven (just going by his pronouncement of the place) when he and his buddies found a crate of lugers destined for shipment.They were packed in grease. He was able to smuggle one home, but couldn't fit the stock for it in his kit bag, what a bummer eh! I'm sure there hasn't been more than a couple of hundred shots fired from it.Being no expert I can't presume to say it's in mint condition, but there is no bluing missing, no dents or scratches, no rust, pitting or anything that I can see that would detract from a marvelous piece of german enginering. I am not a collector, but it is quite thrilling to know where such a piece of history exists
