Is this price outrageous?

Greetings learned ones.

I have an opportunity to buy my first Luger. I realize you all are not mind readers and I wish I had a digital camera to post pictures of this thing. The information I have is as follows:

SENO: 6130
DATE: 1915
MARKINGS: Scrolled DWM and numerous winged eagles with crowns. So far as I can determine, the weapon has matching numbers except for the magazine. I would rate the condition as good but it has come significant pitting on the top of the receiver. The bore looks good with minimal dark areas. It comes complete with a reproduction hard shell black leather holster made for German reenactors.
PRICE: $500.00

Any information would be heplful. Thanks.

Kurt, Better snap it up. Almost any Luger is worth $500.00 in the condition you describe. Better take it apart to be sure it is all there. There are many variables but for a first time buy sounds like it is worth taking a chance on. Jerry Burney

I agree with Jerry, better get it before it goes up to $600! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Hey all, did you notice the words got shorter. It is like, what is wrong with you! It has been an hour and 10 minutes and the guy hasn't bought it yet!

Yes, I would be inclined to want it also, but have turned up a deal or two over time, we all do. <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />
