But so far communication has been very short for such an expensive pistol LOL. I asked him specific questions like, has it been touched up? And he didn't answer any of that. We will see.
IMO you have sufficient red flags to end any interest in that Luger. The price, IMO, is high. $2,500 should buy a near perfect Mauser Luger excepting the truly rare ones which that one is not.

For comparison, have a look at the Mauser Lugers that Simpson, Ltd has for sale. They are typically 20% or so over what most collectors would pay and $2,500 would buy you a very nice one from a dealer who guarantees what they sell.
