In an oblique photo of the barrel, and also on the receiver serial, there seem to be halos. I don't know if Artillery pistols are supposed to show halos on the receiver serial.

Photos I'm referring to are in this thread. http://luger.gunboards.com/showthrea...very-fortunate Overall I believe better and more complete photos would be appropriate given the asking price.

Regarding the side plate I also suspect re-blue, because I actually have a re-blued side plate on a shooter that has a similar line, added when the part was re-blued.

In this thread, the seller asks questions about a 1917 Artillery stock.
http://luger.gunboards.com/showthrea...er-Stock-legal However the pistol is marked 1916 and in the 'sale' thread I don't see any mention of selling a stock/holster with the pistol, puzzling.

Personally if paying +$4,000 for any collectible firearm I would require either a pre-sale personal inspection or an expert assessment.

It is more than re blued. It is RE MARKED. There is no other reason other than bad pitting or corrosion for this surface grinding to have been done. Although someone took the trouble to closely match the font and size of the numbers, the fact remains that the sideplate is not original to the pistol and if sold without clarifying this fact, it is an attempt to deceive.
