Checked it out, it’s actually just a surface scratch.Just a question, in the third photo there is what looks like a crack across the hinge area of the bolt, the area just ahead of where the pivoting pin bulge is.
I would think perhaps that it is a shadow line of the machining from the hinge area to the flat of the top of the bolt though in the picture it looks like it is a crack going over and down the right side of the bolt hinge in the picture.
I have never seen a failure like that on any of about 7-8 Lugers that I have had the pleasure of looking at and handling so I'm guessing that it is a lighting effect...?
