That description almost exactly matches the condition of my Deaths Head Luger (except the pitting on my gun is very shallow) that I have owned for over 30 years. It will never win any beauty prizes, but when I bought it, not from a dealer or big time collector, but from a plumber in New Jersey, it was "just a Luger" and cheap. I consider it more authentic than many of the relatively pristine examples that I have seen for sale over the years.
