Collectors are, in general, looking for pieces "as close to original factory condition as possible."
A "refinish" is, by that definition, a major departure from, "original factory," rendering the prices of some beautiful guns far more affordable for the shooting enthusiasts who would hopefully "use" more than "abuse."
That matching chromed byf41 sounds like it might become your first Luger!! Since you know it's been relisted a few times, why not start with a bid of $800 or so? Are you convinced the seller is reliable? The .30's are a bit more expensive to shoot though..... in that regard, the 9 mm's are better.....
Funny thing about Lugers- they have a "magnetism" which I have not seen in quite the same way as with other firearms.....
Yes... please keep us posted
