Tac,
These guns restored by Mauser represent a last ditch attempt by Mauser to produce (or refurbish) a luger that was marketable. The fact that it was done by/for Mauser and only for a very short time makes it a collectible in it's own right and that will lift the price well above that of a normal reblue.
Tacky or not (no pun intended), it's part of the Mauser heritage.
