The upper receiver may be from a byf 41, but the lower receiver (grip frame) while manufactured by Mauser is not a 1941... the P.08 that is normally stamped on the left side flat is missing...
The grips are horrible and don't even match each other. The left side checkering looks like it was done by a convict with a contraband knife...
I think $700 is a little too high for this one... take the guy less in cash and see if he will deal. If it shoots okay, some new grips would perk up the image a little, but I would not invest any money in refinishing it.
Let us know how you make out.
