Hi Sterling, welcome to the Luger Forum.

Based on your description, if the pistol is all you say it is, buy that little sucker!!!!

The pistol alone might be sold for the $2K. One word of caution would be to make sure the grips are correct. There are some pretty sneaky people out there that are making some authentic looking grips. You have researched the photos on the Luger Forum, so you know what to look for. Make sure the threaded holes on the back side of each grip is the same size as the grip screw threads. If you decide to test them by inserting a grip screw, do it carefully as not to chip out the Bakelite, since it is brittle!!!!

Good Luck
