any info appreicated
OK; let's talk more about the one you posted...(pic below)...

Do you like it??? How's the bore look??? Are there any XXX's on it anywhere??? The grips look worn...are they??? What are the markings on the grip strap???

Are you going to shoot this regularly??? Or just to verify that everything works???

It looks to me to be a commercial Luger...is it 9mm or 7.65mm???

You say it was re-blued...did the bluer buff a lot of the sharp edges off???

Is this a gun shop or a private owner???

I had to Gamma-correct your pic...it was way too dark for my monitor...so if the blueing looks too light, it's my fault...
