I'll admit mainly a lurker when it comes to Lugers.

I've been hoping to pick up a shooter S/42 or Third Reich era, however this one recently popped up local to me. Seller is asking $1150 and describes it as "Appears to be numbers matching in all the places you expect"

My main area of concern was the "Erfurt" stamping looking a bit buffed? Which could either indicate a rebluing or a renumbering? As previously stated I am new to Lugers but know that this sort of thing happens/happened frequently with German arms due to their post war allure.

General consensus on if its a buy or if I should hold my horses and get a Mauser later down the line when one pops up.
