It is pretty hard to tell from the pictures whether the finish is original or not. If you look closely at the several pictures on the website, you can see that the overall finish of the piece is not as pristine as the "glamor shots" would lead you to believe. Type of lighting and camera angle can really alter the appearance of a Luger. Tungsten light will make the finish appear more uniform and darker than full spectrum natural sunlight.
I agree with Tom A., the price is at least $1500 too high, but it is a nice looking piece.
