I have a WWII Walther PP that has had a broken firing pin, broken safety, and just recently a bit of the underside of the slide has broken off. I won’t be shooting it anymore, I think the metal has crystallized.
As for mismatched Lugers, I wouldn’t recommend it. I’d heard Lugers had terrible triggers, and shooting a friend’s seemed to confirm that. But his was a mixmaster. When I bought my own, numbers matching Luger, the trigger pull was target gun quality. All of those parts were serialized for a reason. Some German spent hours with a file making them fit perfectly.
I have 2 Lugers… an all matching and one that has a matching lower mated to a different numbered upper. They both have ok but somewhat spongy triggers.
