My Luger --41 byf

Hi Again Integral!! Your Luger is of the more common variety and was completed in the summer of 1941, probably August (could be July). The pistol was probably shipped with wooden grips and aluminum bottom magazines numbered to the serial number of the Luger, 1404u. Having said that, it was in the transition period and there is a chance that the grips were black bakelite and the magazine contained an unnumbered black plastic bottom. If your grips are stamped (on the inside) with "04", then the former would be my bet. As to value, an 85 to 90 percent all matching Luger, with wooden grips, would be worth $750 to $900 depending on the correctnesss of your finish estimate. Again congratulations on your Luger!!
