I think the price is too high. Overall the finish is nice, even if the gun turns out to be a mismatch numbers.

I agree that the "lines" on the face of the sideplate appears to be from something being sanded off and then refinished. But it doesn't look like enough metal was removed as if a serial number was removed... perhaps it was just a little rusty and they used a sandpaper that was too coarse to clean it up before refinishing.

The Takedown lever has marks around the edges of the pivot point that appears that someone who didn't know how to take down a Luger may have used pliers to assist them in turning the lever.

All in all I don't think the gun is worth more than $800-900 in this condition.

Just my $0.02
