Whats there to stand behind? For $27,900, the gun should be 'new-in-box' mint. Its not. While giving some leeway due to questionable photograpy, I would still say that this HK is not 97%. Not with that tip of the barrel wear and bluing where the inscription is. I could say more, but then we would be discussing photographic quality, which would be, admittedly, quibling. The focus here is the price, which is absurd. But as I said earlier, people can ask whatever they want, getting it is another story.
But I have been surprized before in this world of the internet. I remember when a Borchardt encased set came up for sale. Very, very nice set. Everyone here thought that it would go for about $30,000 to $35,000. It ended up going for $56,000 or so and many jaws were left hanging at the conclusion of that bidding. So you just don't know whats going to happen.
Incidently, Pete, nice attempt at trying to focus on the side inscription. The clarity just wasn't there.
