Nothing wrong with it. But a few pictures were poorly taken, especially #81, and #89, might be caused by gun grease applied protecting the surface. There are late Astra 900, Mauser 1930, Schnellfeuer in unissued condition, being rare in condition dimension. I assume there are also a few byf Lugers in unissued condition. But as a military pistol, it's even rarer. Must be byf though, earlier German-made Lugers would be extremely unlikely. Large volume of byfs in excellent shape forms the base to support a few unusual ones, statistically that's possible.

It's a common practice for collectors to "rig" a nice pistol. My guess is the holster and tool were bound to the gun by collector, in this gun's collector stage, not in its tool stage.
