Someone Claims, This Is A Fake One?

Luger Again :-) it has all the matching numbers, including the firing pin :-)

What is your opinion about this handgun? Is it a good or bad deal I've made?

Wood bottom - matching Numbers, as Well :-)

Is the bluing on the barrel, receiver, and toggle train as shiny as they look in the photos?? If so, then I think this Luger has been refinished. Besides the bluing, some of the parts look to be buffed fairly extensively. Perhaps it is the photos.

Sorry to say "bad deal", very severely over polished and re- blued.
Magazine is re-stamped to match.

You have already figured out it is not an artillery luger, but the standard 4"-100mm barrel length P 08.

Here it would not be a collectible luger, but what we call a "shooter".

The bad re-blue hurts the value, how much depends on your local market.

Welcome to the board, and next time try to ask before you buy.
