German Vise Threads

So I was about to go look at a German vise and after getting a few photos, I saw the screwbox appears to be missing a lot of threads.  I'm famialr with English vises but not German.  Do the threads on a German screwbox usually start right at the end or is there an unthreaded portion at the start.  My gut says this vise is missing a good amount of threads sooo...what say you?

I agree with Stash. The screw box is pretty bad and the leg looks cut off.

Depending on the price. If the seller is willing to take less, for a vise that is not a working vise which needs a lot of work to make it so. That would be my determination to make the trip or not.

That's the thing Thomas...the vise is $100 Canadian, which is a pretty good deal for here.  BUT it would involve 6 hours of driving (gas etc) and it may not check out.  If it was close, no issue - I'm all in! - but given what I'm seeing, this is someone else's project to be had.  Especially because I have a line on a nice blower now too!
