Hi Sean,

What state are you in? We have members all over the country.

Identifing and appraising a Luger accurately, usually can't be done by a general gun appraiser. And if a Luger is "expertly" refinished. Most people couldn't tell. It takes a very well trained and experienced eye to do so.

If the "appraiser is also a dealer, I wouldn't take their word for for it.
They will often "low-ball" it hoping that you will get discouraged and sell it to them at their appraisal price.

Try to at least post some clear photos before going off the deep end.
