Artillery lugers are appreciating in value rapidly, "nice" ones commanding prices in the $3K range. "Nice" means over 90% original rust blue, 90% original strawing, and matching serial numbers. Having fine tuned rear and front sights adds to it and a bonifide matching original magazine probably adds another $500 or so. Of course, having the original leather holster rig with the matching detachable stock sends the price over $6K. Having said all that, if I owned any or all of the above, I wouldn't be crazy enough to shoot it, for obvious reasons. It would be very instructive to see more photos of your artillery, especially the top and right side and also a view of the underside of the barrel and front of the frame. Some artillery lugers are rarer than others, such as 1912 dated DWM's and 1914 Erfurts.
