Hi guys, I have a Luger that I've inherited as of 20 years ago that has been sitting in a safe. I was wondering if somebody could tell me exactly what it is and how much it is worth. It is a 9mm, stamped Original Mauser on top, and oberndorf on the front of the grip frame. It seems there are so many variations of this gun that I assume you'd need pictures to identify it.
For the moment, I can tell you that it is a 4 inch model, I believe a Swiss, and came in a box almost identical to the one in the picture below. The one that I have has another slot in the velvet for a big brass tool of some sort with threads on the end. As well as that tool, there is a bore brush, loading tool, extra magazine, manual, and a target with 3 holes with German writing on it.
I took it to a couple of gun stores today, and although they acknowledged that it was 100% and they'd never seen the wooden case before, they offered me $400. I know it's worth a lot more than that, and I wouldn't even consider selling it for that price, that's what a Keltec would go for. They didn't really know what it was, and had to look it up in a book and just ended up scratching their heads and offering me dirt.
NOT my gun:
