The grips look too good to be true...

Is this a "keeper" or a "passer"?

Also - does anyone have experience with "Mister Luger"?

It's a refurbished (x2) P08.

First overhauled by the East-Germans, then again in the late 1990s when these came on the market. Great looking shooters, but little or no collecting value.

Thank you!

It seems a little steep then, for a shooter?

Very overpriced. As Vlim pointed out, an East German refurb. Replaced barrel with a C/N proof, replaced grips, heavy import mark on the frame.
About $700 would be my upper limit on this.
