The Luger shown was manufactured with a v-notch and later modified to the u-notch. The gun is a very early '06 Bern, being the 25th off the line! The manufacture of the Luger by the Swiss started off with serial number 15216, picking up the serial numbering consecutive to where the DWM production ceased. The price does seem very low. Even though there is good blue coverage, it looks very "thin" over most of the Luger and the Swiss like them looking new. Also, the addition of the inset in the right grip does nothing for the value. Even with all that, with a holster and two magazines $1300 seems like a steal.
