Michael,

All in all I don't think the price is that high, obviously it depends also on how much ruined is the bore.
Just to give you a rough comparison the Artilley Luger in the picture below is for sale here in Italy at the price of about USD 4500.00 it's in very good condition BUT it was rechambered 9x21 IMI which means that in the States probably wouldn't have any value.

Sergio - If I were offered that particular artillery Luger, the 9x21 cartridge would not bother me. I might use that as leverage to get a lower price, but as long as it shoots *something*, I don't really care what.

The fine tune sights would bother me more. I don't like FT sights, and I have a set/barrel.

That Luger has an unmodified sear, which I have only seen pics of once or twice (never in person). Again, not an issue to me, but possibly might be used to lever price.

I love the brown holster, especially the ball & socket fastener. The cleaning rod is cool, too. Can't see the board (it's just barely visible), so I couldn't make a final determination, but the price you quote would definitely have me thinking...
