Help with Luger Value! Should I Buy?

First the term Black Widow was made up by a US dealer to sell more lugers. The plastic grips were used in part of 41 and then 42. Only because of a lack of wood. The finish is the same regardless of the grips. The luger in question ,in my opinion is a might high in price. The barrel almost looks like someone put a wrench on it for removal. The marks are on both sides. The matching mag is a big plus. Regardless of what we read and see matching mags. are far from common. Very hard to judge original finish from pictures. This would appear to be original..I would want to know more about the barrel marks and matching inside numbers. I expect some of the Mauser experts will get on here. Good luck Bill
