I won my GB auction tonight and have a beautiful 1937 matching #'s luger coming...http://www.gunbroker.com/item/724882727

i want to shoot it maybe 1-2x a year...i want to enjoy my gun and am willing to risk its value to do so.

i want to minimize the risk to the value while shooting it....i think i should buy a firing pin and maybe a mag...looking for advice on how to minimize risk and what to buy and where?

buy a new firing pin ? (are the repro ones good?)
buy a new mag? (how can an original mag be damaged?)

where to buy parts?
what is the best book?

im extremely excited tonight....im a long time gun buyer...i own too many to count...i recently bought a Mp40 and wanted a handgun from ww2 Germany also....ive bid 15-20x on items on GB and never won..this is the first time!
