Hello again,
many thanks for your answers, that was very helpful.
I think i would not buy this gun after that.
Maybe someone could rework that bad finish, but i think the metal looks quiet badly under that paint. It seems to be full of dents and scars, maybe that is the reason why it had been refinished.
@kurusu: you are right, i think i'll take a look.

I agree although I too am a novice Luger buyer. That's a pretty rough finish unfortunately.

Poker, welcome!
As mentioned, the gun was poorly refinished and there is evidence of corrosion. This one is not very good for an investment. But, could be good for a shooter. The photos don't reveal much more information.

Unless it is extremely inexpensive, find and buy a better Luger.

Please look at the FAQ section of this forum for very helpful information.

I wouldn't trust a DWM in this condition as a shooter. Nor a Mauser for that matter.

In my opinion, for a first Luger, this would not be the one. There has been/still is, a lot of corrosion and pitting and we can not see the insides of the Luger. I would look elsewhere.
