What should I pay for this luger.
 

I have a chance to pick this one up if the price is right but I don't know where it goes from here is your money and walk away to if you really want it to you over paid. Thanks for any help. I had to sell my luger during the recession and wanted to get another one.

Same response as my post at P.38 forum:

Well, you have asked a very complex and deep question.

My recommendation is that you study Lugers by getting copies of the literature before you consider buying anything.

A collectible gun should run between $1500 and the moon these days depending on a large number of factors.

A shooter should be between $850 and $1400 depending on a large number of things.

You can start to get an idea by downloading the LugerForum FAQ document, and then checking online sales from reputable dealers.

Most of us won't click links to offsite photos (you can upload pictures here), and these photos are not that well lit so it's hard to judge what you're looking at.

What are they asking for it?

Agree with the above comments although I did look at enough pictures to determine that the toggle train is a mismatch to the rest of the gun. Thus it's a shooter and not a collectible.

The value, to me, would depend upon bore condition.

I'd think your question would be important enough to upload the pictures here.
Many of us will not go to photos hosted off site; and they will eventually disappear and render
the thread useless in the future. JMHO.

I agree with the two posts above.
I am not an expert but until a few years ago I also collected Lugers for a while, and I can assure you that the Luger world is rather complicated so the study of books is always helpful to the collector, and sometimes even books are not enough.
The devil is hidden in the small details and sometimes it's difficult to understand originality.
Some parts that might look correct according to your books in the end are not "original" or worse still were professionally refinished/restored.
In other words there is a lot to learn from volumes but there is even more to learn from experience and discussion with experts (not me) of this forum.

Best regards.
