Takedown lever will not budge

Hello everyone, I just bought my first luger a 1916 DWM and wanted to clean it up in order to get it ready for shooting. I have followed the directions for take down but I cannot get the takedown lever (locking bolt) to turn at all, it will not budge. I have the toggle back, safety off mag out yet still I cant get the darn thing to turn. I have a sneaking suspision something might be damaged as the actual checkered button on the takedown lever was broken off long ago most likely by someont trying to pry it town with a screw driver or something.
