Help valuing a Martz Luger

[Lugerdoc]

As stated above, your early 9mm Martz shooter is a bit difficult to value, as not listed in the current Blue Book, like his BABY models and those in calibers other than 9mm. Also yours lack this later "JVM" toggle marking and his patented Martz Safety toggle Release (MSTR) marking, that I have on my later Martz super shooter. My 6"x 9mm also has the orig 2 position ajustable rear sight, which John traded to me over 30 years ago for parts. At the time he was asking $1500 for my version, which would be around $3,000 in todays dollars and since then, I've added a repro Navy stock, tools, spare mag and encased them in a leather covered case, which should add about $500 to the value. As I recall years ago, John would tune a customer's luger and polish it in the $500 range, so adding in $300 for the value of a shooter then, it has probably doubled in value since, so I say about a $1600 shooter today.
