Stu,

In my opinion, $900 is not an unreasonable price for an all-matching 1915 DWM LP-08 in such condition as yours. Even though the finish is all wrong and some of the markings have been dimished, it appears that in the metal work some care was taken to retain proper surfaces--note particularly the work on the side plate--and not buff the corners round.

Also, keep in mind that estimated production for this year's Artilleries is only 15,000 pieces, the lowest production figure for all LPs except for the 1914 DWM, so they are not exactly the most common Lugers around.

Good luck with your decision, and keep us all up on your progress.
