The photographs are too poor to be able to tell the condition of the gun's finish. There is some severe pitting on the top of the toggle, it does not appear to be blued over. There appears to be marks on the barrel below the rear sight which -could- (and I emphasize could) indicate the barrel has been wrenched on. The front grip strap looks pretty bare.

One would expect any matching LP-08, which is not a shot-out, pitted wreck, to go on auction for somewhat more than $1.2k.

This may be moot as the auction has ended.
