Thoughts on this 1941 Police Luger on GB?

This particular seller, his loyal bidders and his wares are discussed across the internet, on many forums.

Some guns are legit and of the highest quality. Some are iffy. Others are blatantly misrepresented.

Many times, aggressive bidders will have feedback only from the seller, gunsrc. And these bidders can be found in the bid history of several auctions with astronomical final prices.

Several guns which have appeared to sell for insane prices will suddenly appear for sale on other venues than Gunbroker, with the same pictures, description and location, but under a slightly different seller name.

Note the claims "TWO MATCHING MAGS...FULL RIG! 100% ORIGINAL, MATCHING AND CORRECT" and "ORIGINAL FACTORY BLUED FINISH!" will state firmly that the mags are original. Full rig is original. Gun is original matching. Finish is original.

Yet mags show previous numbering. Fonts on receiver and frame don't match. Lines and edges on receiver and frame are no longer sharp.

Bid price is already bordering on the sublime.

Study up on the seller and his completed auctions. Then make your judgement.
