My grandmother recently decided that she was no longer comfortable having a pistol in the house since my grandfather is suffering from alzheimer's , so she passed a Luger that he had collected in WWII down to my family.
It apppears to be in very good condition, with a date of 1920 stamped on and what my brother, a WWII buff, says are Weimar Republic markings.
Would it be safe or a good idea to shoot this piece, or would it be better to keep it as a "safe queen"? My dad stripped it and looked it over, and there are no obvious signs of corrosion, and the finish seems amazingly good for a weapon that had been used for probably years of combat and military service.
Are there any good luger information sites out there?
