What's it Worth?
 

Hi Folks,

Got a doosy of a question. Don't have pics, but can anyone tell me roundabout what the following would be worth?

1920 DWM Police 9mm Luger with period holster and a separate dual magazine pouch. Pistole in great condition all matching except magazine. Spare magazine is also included in the dual magazine pouch.

Just need a good guess as to where to start

to sell?? to buy?? for insurance?


reblued? nickled?


Brien, a bit too open to give a "value".... could be $800 for all, or $1200...

Brien, Most matching original finish unpitted P08s start around $1K these days. The added value of the spare mag, pouch & holster would depend mostly on condition, but the markings might be important, so at least another $200 to ?. If the sear or mag safety has been added or it is unit marked, those are all pluses. TH

Additional information
 

To buy

Does not seem to be reblued, finish is great

Holster and pouch need attention (saddlesoap/leather surface cracks)

Bore 98%

Sear Safety--that's how I know it's a police model

Also, it has a unit stamp on the butt..forgot that.

amounts I stated is about right. the pouch another $100-$250, depends on it is, and all. extra mag is worth another $75-$135 depends on condition and markings,

Ed,

Decaf...!!!:D

the opposite Ron, late at night and took an ambien. wife says. NO emails or posting after 10 PM and you've taken your pills OR been drinking :D

Ed,

I empathize. I take Ambien as well. Thanks for the input. I am considering purchasing the Luger but am a little leary of spending that much right now. I just retired, 20 yrs USAF and money is a little tight.

May I ask your opinion?

I have in my collection:

1. A 1912 police shooter
2. An Erfurt 1917 with Matching mag
3. A 1993 Mirchell Arms
4. A 1920 .30 cal Commercial model

Should I save and go for a WWII Nazi marked Luger, try and build a nice Navy shooter ( I have a complete 1916 upper) or spring for the 1920 Weimar Police issue.

No pressure, I just would like some other opinions.

Brien, all depends on if you are collecting a "type" or era, or a wide range, but desire value in your guns.

if in value, then right now, I'd say a 3rd Reich pistol or WW1 Imperial.


I collect weimar era, so I lean that direction, but won't turn down a different era or 'type", I can always use it as trading material or for some profit down the road.

Since Lugers are getting in scarce supply, in any condition, I urge you to buy it. I had a chance to buy a Luger that was unmatching but turned down the purchase. And, I have mentally kicked myself since. That was 2 years ago and since then I have seen only about 5 Lugers available for sale.
By purchasing it now, you have another Luger for your collection, and a good shooter.
Good luck on your decision.
