To echo what everyone else is saying, it's a nice enough gun but if you're wanting a collectible all-matching one then this isn't it. This is, for me at least, a shooter (and worthwhile in its own right) but not what you want yet. No Luger is a bad Luger, though.

If only it could talk. Seems like 3 guns were used to make just this one. I can't justify spending 1100 on a set up when a matching example isn't that far away...$300+ maybe?. Plus my Kriegsmarine HSC wouldn't be comfortable sitting next to something of lesser class haha. I use the AAD archives to verify information that contains vets army serial numbers. This army serial and vet do not come up, further enhancing my distrust. I'm going to hold out for a matching example. My only problems are finding them locally to inspect in person and having to commit to a risky online purchase.
