The Luger is an example of a 1914 Model that has been rather heavily reworked and reblued. The date has most likely been removed from the chamber and the "Made in Germany" along with the incongruous low serial number might suggest that this is a 1920 rework performed by an independent rework facility. Or it may be a much more modern remake. At any rate, the low serial number notwithstanding, in my opinion it has no particular collector value other than as a curiosity.
