Looks restored to me. Very polished looking, grips cleaned, new strawing. IMHO
And how can it go for 12K, with two pictures of the luger and 4 or 5 of a WW2 holster?
Come on, bring backs don't make 6x the value. Now, I could be wrong, my wife insists that I have been wrong several times during our 40 years together.
Ted Green could make them look almost new and he was excellent at restoring lugers and in my opinion, this one doesn't look as good as I've seen them.
A friend of mine showed me a 2 matching mag early army luger in Louisville, DWM I think, and that could be a 12K gun. it literally looked almost new, but wasn't.
