Mark, For most collectors, that would drop value by 50% or more. In todays' terms, I would venture a guess of value at around $ 1350 or so.

Pete is spot on condition wise and has mentioned some areas I didn't have time to write about. Good job Pete!

He is also in a very generous mood. I am not sure I would value this pistol quite as high as he has. Although is's nice and shiney it's still restored instead of all original.
Even if it were in this condition and with it's original blue I question if it would bring $2600 USD. Hard to say with Lugers valued the way they are these days..Pete could be right. Now if it had a couple of matching mags and a nice holster...
If I found this pistol walking around a gun show I would be reluctant to pay more than a shooter price for it. Of course I'm cheap..Not as cheap as Ed Tinker but close!
