Mac Cat, I hope your estimate is accurate as you just made my day! My naïve, impulse purchase cost me $1,200 plus a $15 FFL fee. I fretted knowledgeable folks here would tell me it was worth $500. Frankly, I am just simply happy to be an owner.
I did watch a u-tube video on the complete take-down of a P08 and it appears a bit scary to me. I do want to do some careful cleaning and lubing after I spend time getting educated. The shop owner did say the seller told him that it was in fireable condition. I hope to connect with the prior owner this weekend.
Yes, the holster appears to have been painted or coated with something. I am not sure how I should deal with that misguided attempt to make the holster look better.
Any other thoughts or advice. I am all ears.
