Inspection Before Buying

Read the FAQ, read all the stickies on the new collector part of the forum.

Generally its best to buy books before guns, but most buy one then learn...

Ok, Thanks everyone for the input. I guess i should have been more clear in my original post, but I have been researching Lugers for quite some time, including books and online, the the message was received nonetheless.

Attached are several pics of the Luger in question. I apologize if the quality is not good enough. I was trying to mimic other photos on the sight but was having difficulties. If you all need better photos, I will have someone give me a hand the next time.

From what I can tell, almost everything matches except for the 2 halves of the toggle, the grips and the mag. the finish is pretty rough and the bore shows some pitting but the lands/grooves are still crisp (hard to see from the picture). also, based on the lack of proof marks, i'm assuming this is a commercial model?

Thanks for the help.
