Quick question

I ran across a guy who had a Luger he just bought at a gun shoot. It had a tool unmarked and looked like it could be a reproduction, the holster had no markings on it what so ever. No P08 or waffenamt or any ink marks. Nothing. He said he was told it was a police rig, the gun was a bad mismatch, it had a third Reich era bb. and receiver marked 1937 on top. Many parts had not serial NOs on the small parts. The take down spring was broken, and all numbers mismatched. Grip screws were wrong type and both mags are after market new productions. He thought he stole it at 700$. I tried to let him down easy in that IMO he gave all its money. I don't think he was ripped off but he did not buy it at a price where he will be able to sell it tomorrow for a profit. I personally would not have paid more then 500 for it. With out photos and from my description did I judge it fairly?
