I can only speak for myself, but my monitor [IBM G96] shows everything dark, except Windows. Even my own pics need to be lightened before I can make out any details. Pics from this forum need lightening as well.

I downloaded & looked at the first pic of the first auction you showed. When lightened, that Mauser Luger doesn't look too bad. Markings are pretty clear. Ambient light, no flash. No pitting, no buffing, good sharp edges. Typical holster wear, grips might be repros. Grip screws look good (not buggered).

Trying to match your pic in your hand or on your monitor with Internet auction sites is pretty much an exercise in futility, IMO...
