Opinions on this shooter?

Just as an aside. I just bought an import marked, (AIG, Miami, Fl)1940 date 42 toggle Luger and a mint, matching AC41 P38. Both for $800.
Unusual circumstances, granted. The owner was an aquaintance who was moving back to Argentina.
The Luger is a dipped blue, (with almost no buffing), all matching on major components, with a forced side plate, serial # 6226H. The sear and safety have had the serials "dimpled out" and the grips are non-matching a a bit ratty. The best part is the gun shoots beautifully with both the accompanying mag, (B code and Waamt655, but serial buffed out) and ALL the aftermarket mags I have tried in it.
The best part of the deal was the P38. Deep original blue with SHARP, markings, down to the smallest waamts. Three digit code AC41 gun with really beautiful , red wine colored bakelite stocks.
I think the P38 alone was worth the price of admission.
It just goes to show that deals still come along...
