You have a beautiful and pretty magnificent early Luger. However, sharper photos taken in natural light without all the glare will be necessary to provide a more accurate assessment of the condition and value of your gun. Although it appears to be nearly pristine the images are a bit blurry. I think I detect a few tiny points of oxidation and/or wear. For high dollar guns every point off of 100% can mean the difference between $8000 and $5000. In order to be valued at $10,000 the gun would have to be essentially factory new in condition. I am not trying to be a wet blanket, but by the same token I wouldn't want you to have a false sense of worth.
