3. Finish is rough, broadly freckled w/o deep pits, some areas of bare steel around "ears"
4. VG walnut grips.
5. Dealer is asking 1,550.00, 2 mags (mismatched) and original holster dated 1939, missing lift strap. Sorry, I don't have pictures.
Comments welcome.

NOT restore. You will eliminate or at least greatly diminish any collector value by restoration. Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair) can " restore" your holster lift strap... with one from the same period. His work is flawless.
