My opinion is based on my personal preferences, and the 4 3/4" Tikkakoski barrel (especially with proof mark) is a big plus to me...and the 'square' front sight blade too, of course...

The SA proof on the frame/receiver is a big plus too...

The Finns seem to have taken pains to keep these Lugers in good condition; finish (sorry; no pun intended) perhaps was not a high priority...

I've kept an occasional eye on these on GB and the price is not out of line...IMO...Especially with only $15 FFL fee...

Does any Luger really lose value???

I too would like to see pics...
