Info on German Dreyse

I checked the closed gunbroker auctoins and see that this pistol seems to be running for about $125 plus shipping in 75% shape. A local store has one for $89+ tax. Don't know if it is military or police or what, but is in about 75% shape or thereabouts. How are these for reliablity, action strength, etc.? Seems like a very decent price.

    Found out it doesn't have a magazine after all and the front sight is horribly bent. Works, but it ain't worth it to me now.
