Sweet! I'm jealous!
A Luger has been on "to buy" list for a long time. I really want a Swiss one.

Thanks everyone! I would suggest getting one whenever possible for a number of reasons:
1) Price: Lugers are expensive now, and I think they will continue to go up because people keep buying them. There was like a 200% price jump in late 2007, now you will pay a premium. (I got lucky and traded a rifle I didn't want)
2) Collectability: A luger is a highly-collectable gun, that can also be used as a plinking weapon for cheap, if yours is in 9mm, .30Cal Luger is a different story, haha.
3)History: Lugers may not be the most reliable compared to a Glock or Sig, but the Luger has the historical value, especially if you've got Nazi proofs.

I don't mean to alarm you, though, but that gun may, and I mean, may, have been refinished. The take down lever is in the white and the safety marking should be painted(?) Was Mauser still using strawed parts in 1940?
Anyway, I only know a small amount about these guns and there are so many Luger variations that anything's possible.

I remember seeing somewhere that Mauser stopped "strawing" parts in 1937. I could be wrong.
Awesome pistol, no matter what.
