Luger P.08 age and value?

[Absalom]

.....
But the same scenario couldn't have happened with Lugers. They stopped being produced in 1943.

Well ..... not entirely.

Obviously this does not apply to this gun, but just for the record:

The East German N 1001 series of the P 08 (no period between P and 08 in EG usage; N = Neufertigung, new production) from 1953, a very small run of about 100, was newly manufactured in Suhl from scratch, not assembled from reconditioned pre-1945 parts as widely assumed.
