I agree you cannot see the finish or grips very well. IMO for that amount of money you should have clear photos and more than ten of them.

At his bid minimum I'd expect a matching magazine and he is silent on the magazine. The lack of data on the magazine alone would tend to steer me away, magazines are an important part of any Luger purchase. I am also put off by gushing descriptions such as he uses in his remarks.

Personally I find judging high condition pistols as a potential purchase to be a challenge. I see many refinishes where the seller tries to pass it off as original. Not saying that is the case here, I can't tell.

Personally all these questions and the price would make me pass, it would not be a close call.
