What's this Luger worth?

My experience with Checkpoint Charlie has been positive and I agree that, among dealers anyway, he offers some more reasonably priced lugers (although I have never purchased a luger from him). You should note that he seems to place a higher premium on WWII era lugers than WWI and that he places a higher value on "restored" (refinished) lugers. In my opinion, much of his Luger inventory is what I would call high end shooters as opposed to true collector grade examples. As with any dealer ask a lot of questions and request better photos than what is posted on the web site. I have purchased a few military rifles from him and have been satisfied with both transactions. Bottom line, I would say that he is an honest businessman. KFS
