Unit marked Luger

Ben,

I would not advise a friend to buy this gun.
It is definitely reblued, finish is wrong (dull and gray), Unless it's the lighting in pic 5, reddish tint on a partial area of frame is wrong and is what is referred to as incorrect rebluing job (although red can legitimately occur on entire individual small parts). Safety lettering is too white and perfect.

It is also not all matching - toggle axle pin is not numbered, sideplate numbering looks wrong and is likely a replacement, extractor is not numbered. I agree with David about the barrel - it almost looks parkerized to me, rather than blued.
