Need help identifying/assessing P08

I would buy it for $700 IF the pistol actually shoots properly. $500 if I couldn't find out if it shoots. A lot of cobbled together mismatched Luger's just don't function. It might be the lighting but the condition looks kinda iffy.

Greatly appreciate all of the knowledgeable and professional input on the matter, I am glad to have sought out subject matter experts on the topic. Definitely a nifty piece to look at and actually hold, even though the condition is definitely not the greatest. I guess that added a slight historical context to its appearance, that one can only imagine the story behind its origin, use, and the previous owners. As this is literally the third Luger I've seen. The other two being at the only two gun shows I ever attended. Aside from that, my limited knowledge only extends as far as what I've read and generalized to apply i.e. meticulous production with matching serial numbers on every part and accessory.

Once again, much thanks to all!

I agree 100% with all of the above info.....your co-worker would not get my money for that mixmaster Luger.....you can do much better for $1500. Walk away!!
