If I were looking at this gun, I would use it as a shooter and / or a parts gun. The photos show a lot of pitting, as others have mentioned. I myself would not pay more than EU500. This assumes that the gun is fully and safely functional without your having to put time, effort and more money into it.

You say the gun "was offered by somebody who has literally no idea of what he has to sell," Seems the seller has a pretty good idea, seeing that his price is a bit high, as you and others have concluded. If you're not sure, or if you have doubts, then WAIT.

I'm NOT an expert, but... here are my own 2 cents worth.

Over-pricing takes different roads to arrive there. One is that of the charlatan, who certainly knows. An untutored seller may seem too optimistic due to lack of knowledge. It is a classic reaction to start dollar signs spinning in the eyes of someone who does not know a mis-matched parts gun from the million dollar Luger, but has heard of the latter, which influences the price.

Some sellers have open minds that will allow them to reassess the situation based on the facts. Others will stick stubbornly to their ridiculous fantasies.
