help with make and value

A "shooter" luger goes from $400-$600, all depending on where you are in the country. I would hazard a guess that yours, with the excessive worn grip would sell for less than one in much better shape, although it is not in horrible shape. Value probably in the $450-$600, but if it is in 7.65, they have trouble selling for more than $500, as many folks are turned off by the caliber. Also, for whatever reasons the "1920 commercials" do not sell for near as much as say a WW1 or WW2 pistol.

All depends on condition and originality, so if the firing pin or breechblock has been replaced, it could be worth less to most collectors.
