Very nice.

I would agree, a very fine rig, but I would offer my opinion that the Swiss were meticulous about the maintaining the finish on their pistols, and this one was likely arsenal refinished. I also think the magazine was renumbered to match the pistol. Just my $0.02

But Still, a very fine Swiss example.

During the "hay day" of luger collecting (circa 2000-2005) such a rare rig with Swiss style holster would be asking $12-$15K! Current bid is mid teens with NO reserve. Are we seeing unprecedented luger DE-flation or is the seller clueless? With all due respect to John, the finish appears original to my eye in these photos.
