Pete, thanks for the reply. The reworked lever has not affected the function my P08. It still shoots great. The last time I had it at the range the guy I was with who is as close to a marksman as could be with a handgun put three rounds out of five fired in the bullseye ring at the 25' pistol range. He'd never fired a Luger before and fell in love it. After we looked at the target he told me if I ever wanted to sell it let him know. Of course I would never do that.
One of these days I'll have to post a picture of my relative that relieved this pistol from the German officer. It is a photo of him in uniform just prior to the 80th Division's departure for France that was published in the Washington Evening Star newspaper in 1917. He was my Great Grandmother's oldest brother. So that would make him my Great Uncle, or would it be Great-Great Uncle?
