Lynn,
Here is a link to similar Mauser WWI lugers for sale on the Simpson LTD web site. Remember retail dealer prices are usually 15-20% higher than what a gun might sell for between collectors, privately :

As you compare your Mauser luger with these...keep in mind that value is based on :
1. Is the finish on the gun factory original.
2. How much of the factory original blue and straw finish remain (usually in a % rating such as 95%, 98%, etc.).
3. Are all parts serial number matched to your guns' main serial number. This assumes "forced matching" has not occurred.
4. Does the magazine match the luger and is it the "correct" type of magazine for your luger. Same with the grips, where applicable to a model.
5. Bore condition.
