Hello yesterday I found a Mauser BYF 42 P.08 marked Luger it looks to be a "black widow" but was fitted with brown plastic grips seen on Krieghoff made Lugers... I want to say it was refinished because it looks LNIB as in zero wear and or rust that I could see. The bore was also very shiny with no traces or signs of pitting.. I was told by the dealer he bought 18 guns from an older gentleman because he was moving out of state.

It also comes with two mags one being a P.08 marked mag with black plastic base and the body of the mag has the "FXO" marking present, the second mag has the standard wooden bottom with a few markings that I can't recall. He also has a holster that was also purchased with the Luger but I believe it's a P.38 holster given it is marked as such on the back.. also someone's name has been carved inside the flap of the holster..

Well the listed price is $799 before tax but I could possibly walk out the door with it for $750 because Ive done quite a bit of business as said shop. He admits to know nothing about Lugers and thinks it's a Russian capture but there are no markings to label it as such. Also all the serial numbers are matching.

So my question is does this sound like a good deal and does this sound like a R/C to anyone?

He is also trying to sell a 1943 Mauser P38 for around $599 before tax if anyone cares to chime in if that's a good deal or not.
