Would you buy this 1917 Luger?

Sergio - bore is lightly pitted, gray with good lands & grooves. Grip panels are unmarked on the back. There is a small grip chip repair.

Alan - I do see the many halos, but as Norm's pictures show, there are many original finish guns with halo on the extractor and in places other than the barrel. But now that you mention it, I've never seen a halo on the back of the rear toggle! I guess I'll only find out if it is truly original if I get my hands on it. With something like this I'm tempted to buy it just to see.

Norm - thanks for sharing the pics, they help me to decide. Do you think the matching mag is real?
I hadn't really considered it in the price.
