    best guess...pre 2000

    ''made in west germany'' indicates pre german reunification aka berlin wall pulldown.

    I wouldn't worry about age at all - I would go by condition. Has the shop got a test facility so that you can fire it and assess how smooth it is?
    A rough shooting gun no matter how nice the dressing may need further work or money. How expensive is it?
