IMO - FWIW - that doesn't sound like such a bad price IF the bore is excellent. It may be slightly high but still reasonable. Hard core collectors don't care for the import marks but sometimes they are unavoidable.

If you go to the Simpson Ltd website and look for similar Swiss Lugers, you may find the $1895 is not a bad price. Do keep in mind that Simpson is generally high but a very reputable dealer.
