Bill,

At the last two shows I have attended in Florida, the few Lugers I saw had been refinished, with the edges rounded off and the stamps showing they were buffed. The lowest price was $795. I would guess the dealer would come off this some if cash was in hand, but the re-work was very poor. Also, the finish was a high polish. They looked like crap! I don't know if they ever sold, but I would never pay the price they were asking. I guess the old saying the "anything is only worth what someone will pay" is the price they are worth. I wish I could see some of the "low" priced Lugers at gun shows in the Southeast. A nice original Luger in 93-95% condition, all matching except magazine goes for approx. $1000-1200. This is for the common Lugers. The gun show prices here are CRAZY!

It sounds like Joe's is a well re-worked Luger.
