New/Old Commercial Model - Info Requested

Hello, about all that I can offer is that the serial # on the barrel appears to have halos (a GOOD thing). In the same photo the witness marks appear to be in alignment. Need a better shot of the witness marks. The mag is a MecGar (made in Italy cost ~ $30) , I have one in ALL my Lugers. Gotta say, those grips sure look nice. I'd upgrade from my Alphabet Commercial to this one if I could. .30 cal is a drag on the market as ammo can be priced at $1.00 a round (Fiocchi is ~1/2 that) unless you are a reloader. Old-timers say the .30 is more accurate and has more penetration than 9mm. I've had 9mm bullets stick in 1/2" plywood shot out of a 16" barrel at normal pistol ranges. Nice looking pistol, I'd give you $800-900 for it after an inspection. Best Regards!! JOE
