Police luger with mauser banner
 

Hello

can anyone tell me the value of this gun, it is marked with police eagle.. also marked with 1940 and mauser banner.. the gun was taken from a german officer in 1945, and have not shoot since that time, it is as new over all, with two non matching mags and police marked holster and tool.. hope you can help..

Regards Simon

The closeup photographs are excellent, but it would also be good to see overall pictures and pictures of the magazine including the bottom.

Assuming all original finish and all matching parts, in 98% condition, you have a rather valuable Luger. I don't know police Luger values, and others on the board have a better background.

The additional pictures will help them give you an estimate.

Hi Simon,
Looks good so far.....Eagle C is less common on 1940 Banners. Does it have a sear safety? I have an Eagle L :)

hi

my English is not that good, what is sear safety?? :-) i will post some pictures of the mag later today, the cun is matching, but the mags are not matching the gun.. anyone know how many of these are made?? your gun is also in very good condition:-)

Simon,
The sear safety is riveted to the frame above the sear. It prevents accidental discharge with the sideplate removed. See the Mauser Parabellum Hallock, van de Kant page 342.
Jan Still estimates ,1940 E/C pistols, 1130 procured. 1940 E/L 3300 procured. See Third Reich Lugers Vol.III by Still page146.
Cheers,
Jason

From the photos, Sink's gun does appear to have a sear safety but no magazine safety, although better photos would confirm this

I know it is unusual for me to actually refer to the FAQ, but here's a pic showing the police sear safety...

here is the last photo i got, can not send more, because i have bought the gun, but not get it yet.. hope you can tell me the value of the gun..

Hi Simon,
Is it live or deact? I guess that you are not in the US.
Jason

no not in usa:) but its live.. we can also have live weapons in other countries, just not so many:)

can no one help with the value?? i have search a lot on the internet, but not found so much about luger with "eagle c" stamps..

A VERY uneducated guess on these models, what with the condition, mags and holster, assuming that it is all matching except the mags, I'd be in the $2,000 US range. What say the rest of you?
