Luger I.D. help

Norme · 12-03-2012, 11:51 AM

Hi Ron, If the gun's number is 1710a it would be a new listing. If all numbered parts match, and if the finish is all original and 95% or better, it might be worth close to $5,000.00. If it's unit marked and/or the safety is unaltered (Gesichert in the lower position), then a few hundred dollars more. If it has a correct Navy magazine numbered to the gun, then perhaps a couple of thousand more. Keep us posted!
Regards, Norm

Only markings that I remember are what look like proof markings on the side of the (upper frame?) where the barrel screws in. How do you tell if the magazine is "Navy" marked, other than the serial number on the base?

I read about some of the Navy Lugers with "modified safeties" in the Navy section. What is the story on the modification with these?
