Looks pretty clean inside...No rust...Goodly amount of bluing left, except where you would expect a holster to wear...

Barrel is a darker black than the rest of the pistol...and the rear slant of the front sight isn't lined up in a straight line like my other Luger barrels...

Numbers all match [82], except no number on breechblock or firing pin...Aftermarket mag w/steel extruded body & plastic 2-pin base...

No corrosion under grips...and aftermarket grips fit very snug, and are thinner than the Indian grips so prevalent nowadays...

Well maintained, as far as I can tell...

Import stamp on left gripframe rail...Crown/N on left chamber side...lazy Crown/N on breechblock...

Sorry for all the confusion!!! I had all my comments in post #1, and I could only upload 2-3 pics per post, so I tried to go back in and switch pics around and add the comments with the pics...

...It didn't work...

Anyway...Any comments, info, flames etc please post!!!

Oh, it's 30 cal/7.65 Luger...

The trigger, ejector, mag release, safety, and takedown lever still show strawing...Sideplate is worst worn, but has correct number on bottom...All edges are nice & sharp, doesn't appear to have been refinished...

That is a very nice Commercial. The little wear just adds character and the aftermarket grips look very good. Good deal; bet it was hard to wait for so long before you picked it up.

Didn't have a choice...The dealers' State Sales Permit expired and he had to re-apply all over again...Couldn't buy or sell handguns until it was re-issued. I had bought it on AuctionArms.com and had it shipped to him...Just when the permit expired...

It, and about 20+ other pistols, sat for three months...

Rifles, shotguns, and ammo were unaffected...New York State has a separate sales permit just for pistols/handguns...
