Without the gun in-hand, no critique can be "official," but your potential pistol looks mighty nice to me--great condition, with no negative tells that I can perceive. If you study a few YouTubes about how to do it, maybe you can talk the shop into letting you field strip it to check for the numbers on the firing pin and trigger. The asking price seems fair to me, as well, maybe somewhat to your advantage, particularly if you can talk 'em down a tad. High, if all numbers don't match, save the mag. The pics you posted are decent, but we'd like to see a full top pic, and perhaps one with the action locked open. Let's see what more knowledgeable members might have to say...

I'll bestow upon you a suggestion to check out/download the FAQ, which is listed on the bar at the top of each page, in case you haven't found it already. Mucho info!

Thank you very much, IthacaArtist - I had not found the extensive FAQ manual, this is super helpful. Thank you also for the comments above - they are re-assuring.

Great idea on the ask for a field strip - I watched a couple of videos and it does not look too bad, I may even ask if one of them can do it for me (they have some knowledgeable staff there).

I am adding all other photos I have (had a brain fart and did not take proper top strap pictures while at the store....).

Specifically, looking for some feedback on the bore - I added a second picture to the first one. I just could not see any bore pictures on alike listings on GB, so I do not have any reference points aside from my commercial Luger which has a better bore.

Hope they help...Thanks in advance for any additional chime ins here!
