Another overpriced P08

I guess I'd like to see it once cleaned up and lubed. If the numbers match and the metal surface isn't belt sanded or horribly pitted, he may not be too far off on a top dollar retail level. There are a lot more guys that want a cheap shooter than can afford the really nice collectable pieces, so while I'd be relucatnt to pay it myself I'm not so sure it won't bring that money once a bit of lipstick is applied. And those late Mauasers were probably the soundest shooters.
Yes the bore looks a bit orange but don't write it off until it has had a few hundred rounds of metal jacket ammo. thru it. It will look much better then and it will probably shoot just fine.
Agree or disagree?
