One other question, for now. :)
I've seen several holsters with names scratched in the back. I'm guessing these were the G.I. names of the guys that got pocession of these and NOT the personnel that these were actually issued to? :rolleyes: |
My estimates for a private sale
Pistol $1500-2000 Holster $150-200 (more if it was undamaged) magazines $150-250 EACH takedown tool at least $50... You could add at least $500 if this gun was for sale by a dealer. You could easily deduct $500 to 700 if you sell it to a dealer. a VERY NICE Luger ! ! ! |
Many thanks John and ALL for your help.
My next step will be to find someone reputable to repair the holster. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate some contact info. My P-08 will be oiled lightly and replaced in my locked gun cabinet for display. My newly acquired byf 44 P-38 will reside opposite it. Just wish it (P-38) was in as good of condition as this one. :cheers: |

Just to give a picture of how bad it can get if someone without knowledge should fix the holster.. Let me tell you of the only LP08 holster I have ever owned. It was in great shape, except a tear in one of the belt loops. Barely holding the loop together. I went to a saddler with it, and we agreed that he should change both to make colours matching.
When I received the holster, he attached them not like loops, but straight on if you understand what I mean. It was impossible to even stick a little finger under them, and was much to narrow for a normal belt! Sold the holster later on for less than half of what I paid for it.. lesson learned for me :rolleyes: |
Excellent...thanks. Have already been in contact with Jerry and making arrangements to ship this week. THANK you very much for the comments and advise!!!!!
Now, anybody need any return favors with computer advise? LOL Be sure to pm me if you do. I'll help wherever I can. :D |

MANY thanks folks. You definitely called that one right. MANY thanks to Jerry. Here's a photo of his superb craftsmanship. I would imagine my entire rig just went up in value quite a bit. :)

Exactly what i would have expected to see... you would have to know it had been repaired... His skills in Luger holster repair are LEGENDARY!
Thanks for sharing the photos and JERRY! All I can say is WOW! |
Luger Still
This Luger has been the center piece of my collection for many years. It has been a safe queen and handled VERY little since this post. I have decided to part with it and allow someone else to enjoy and display this museum quality piece. I have it on consignment at a local gun shop and asked that he list it online. So it's presently on Gunbroker.com.
If anyone is interested just drop me a message and I'll send you the link. If it's appropriate, I may start a classified ad with a link to the auction. But I will accept a reasonable offer. Thanks all. |
