Restore, or not?

Since as you said it has "finish rough and freckled and lightly pitted" I wonder if the asked price is not a smidgen high, others will provide their opinion.
Close up photos taken in the shade without flash would probably help us, discussions and evaluations should all start with close and clear photos and in some cases with the serial number; in any case from what you wrote I concur with the above replies, if that is your "first Luger" and you intend to use it at the range, get a brand new MecGar magazine and just have fun.
