Value question

What is the value range for this commercial model?
Thank you |
30 cal. 4 3/4 inch barrel?
|
Was the stock lug ground off? My 1920's DWM in 30 caliber has stock lugs.
|
Major Tom, there was no stock lug. Look at the breech block and toggles. This seems to be a high condition model 1900 commercial. Though more pictures with more details of the proof markings will be needed to verify that.

Simpson Ltd. has one on offer right now for $5,250.
https://simpsonltd.com/dwm-1900-swis...ercial-d15823/ It also has it's holster. Your Luger looks pretty high in condition from the photos. |
Might have at least had the straw freshened... It appears in the pic that there's straw color on the worn portion of the takedown lever.
*edit* Later pics show it is worn to white. Must have been the reflected light... |
Yes, .30 cal. 4 3/4 barrel
|
Vesuvio, as HerrKaiser indicated above, that appears to be a very nice, very early commercial Luger produced at the beginning of the 20th century. It could be worth over $5000 depending on condition and original parts.
|
I’ll post more detailed pictures.
Thank you |

From the pictures, it seems that pistol has been at least partially restored/refinished at some point. I see pitting under the finish in areas. It is still a pretty pistol as the work was well done
. The early pistols are some of the most attractive of all in my opinion. John |
The side plate (as looked at from the left side) is a replacement. The top left corner should not be rounded, but a sharp right angle.
|
A major "tell" would be to see a good closeup picture of the polished safety area.

I have found that commercial lugers sell for the least (in comparison) to most, a American eagle would sell for a bit more and faster.
The nicer the originality, the more expensive, but harder to sell, unless the right person is looking. |
I’ll post more pics.
|
In the U.S. a straight commercial 1900 such as that posted is a hell of a lot more scarce than an American Eagle 1900.
