Luger Frame

I have a Luger frame that I purchased years ago at an auction. I'm guessing that some GI liberated the frame at the end of the war from a Luger factory, but there is no way to tell, One interesting part of the story is that the frame has not any machining done to it nor have any numbers or letters been stamped on it. It appears as though it is just the casting(?) and no further work has been done to it. I have always wanted a Luger for target shooting similar to the post war models made by Mauser (one is shown in John Walters' book. A friend has borrowed it or I would reference the page number and provide a little more detail). I have a couple of questions: Is the frame of value for what I want to do with it? In a very general sense, how much money would I be talking about to finish a project such as this? Who might be capable of (and interested in) a project like this? Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
