Interesting possible test-1900?

Let me first say that I'm just trying to learn about these early lugers and not trying to "flame" anyone or their gun. The following is on Gunbroker and based on my reading here and on Jan's site, it is probably an "out-of-range" 1900 AE test-luger.

It has been restored - looks real nice - but what does that do to the value? I asked this question in another topic about the restoration "run-of-the-mill" lugers and the consensus was that it dropped the value by half and made them a nice shooter. Does the same go for this gun and why or why not? Would you have such a gun in your collection or would you save your money for a worn original? Thank you for your time.
