The muzzle is properly 'in the white'.
You can sometimes find these for $850 -$950... $1000 is OK, especially if there are no issues.

I'll look it over one last time before I decide, but it sounds like I have some trading coming up.

I have similar stamps on a couple of my pocket Mausers, and they look like they were applied by a drunk. This one ain't bad, but I wish they could have used a bit more finesse. It just looks out of place, kinda like an Interarms stamp.
