questions
 

I was left a 1915 German Luger by a close family friend. It is in good original condition. All the serial numbers match and it has 4 crest marks. I don't know anything about Lugers, I am a rifle man myself and am an active hunter. I am interested in selling it as I know they are collected and want it to go to someone who can appreciate it. I have been checking into what all the numbers mean for a sense of value but would appreciate any help available. My e-mail is tammy_simonds@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance for any replies. Ken

All safety parts are stamped 93. bottom of barrel is 3824 with a small a underneath and 8-82 undermeath that. Pictures will be posted tonite. thanks for the help.

Welcome Ken,

Your pistol is an assemblage of at least two different guns. This would relegate it to a shooter classification.

Good photos will tell us much more.

pictures posted to my album. please advise. sorry They arent more clear

What does shooter classification mean please?

That means that the gun has little or no interest to collectors. A "collector" Luger will always be worth more than a "shooter". A "collector" Luger is one with all correct, numbers matching parts as close in configuration to when it left the factory as possible. A "Shooter" means that there is little danger of devaluing the gun's monetary worth by shooting it, since a broken, numbered part can simply be replaced without the gun losing its "all matching" designation, since it is already mismatched.

I hope this is clear.

okay I have found out some things about the pistol and would like to sell it. How do i go about this? Am not very computer savvy and dont know how to click into right place. The price I'm asking is $800 or best offer. Any advice?

Place a good description and a few photographs in the "For Sale' section of the site and then wait for interested buyers.

I am in the market for a shooter grade luger. Let me know when you get some pictures available. Thanks!
