I looked at the bore and it is not too good. No pitting but worn down. I still have not made an offer. The owner thinks it is much more valuable than it is.

Thomas,

It would be necessary to actually try out the gun to judge the ability of the barrel to shoot consistently. It would not be unusual for a Luger barrel that appears shot out to perform well.

It is also not unusual for the uninformed to place an inappropriately high selling price on a Luger. Often education does not make a dent in this, so be prepared to walk away from this offer after encountering a stone wall--a too-high price that will not budge.
