Very difficult decision, which I personally would walk away from.
If he won't let people with knowledge get a look at it, there is probably something wrong.
A 1920s commercial in 7.65 Luger should be $900 at most. These tend to have "Made in Germany" stamped on them.
If it's a "1920" Weimar property mark that might change things.
Thing is, you're walking into a deal at possibly mid to high to excessive high price points without the proper knowledge to judge things.
It is also possible that it is a recent Russian Capture import, with a max value of $750 or so.
