It wouldnt be the first time i overpaid for something and if i keep buying older guns, im sure it wont be the last. I paid $1299.
Your choice. It is a twenty Dollar gun, maybe fifty bucks if one gunsmith buys it who just needed a specific Darne replacement part.

Maybe in Germany you can buy a parts gun for $20. Typically, the transfer costs more than that, here. So, no, it is not a $20 gun. The prices I see on guns from all of Europe are reflective of policies that seemed like good ideas at the time that have led to devastating unintended consequences.
There are other indicators (ask the people employed at Volkswagen, or in generation of electric power) but, European firearm prices compared with those in the US will do for today.
Probably helps that we still have game to shoot at, but, I digress.
Best,
