I too have a VoPo refurb that was (so I've been told) 'dipped' [reblued] rather that buffed and then covered with roofing tar...I'd say you got an excellent deal for 6 bills...These East German Lugers (and P-38's/PP's etc and others) are starting to get a lot of attention from serious collectors...Your Luger is one of the better examples...
