1916 Police DWM & unmatched holster

I've watched this gun for some time as it sat on gunbroker, and has now just got some auction on it. I know of the seller, emailed a few times about Lugers in general, not this paticular gun, and everyone I talked with speaks well of him. I to have seen all the pictures, but feel that this is perhaps at the lower end of collecting and not real sure of the extent of damage, I believe that if the gun goes for $1,100, that it is still a bit more that I would want to pay, and still in light of the current prices, and a fair holster is included, you will not get burned....a lot of folk will caution you about firing a matching gun, if you know of the dangers that are possible is breaking a part, and the affect it will cause to is value, well enough said. I picked up the other day an all matching 1917/1920 DWM police, matched mag, no holster, in better condition for $950, not the most pristine gun in my collection but for the cost well worth putting away...if this gun gets away from you, I would not feel real bad, fair deal at best but you can always keep looking....if I can help let me know
