I'm sorry Bill. We all got so caught up in the wonderful condition of your Luger we completely forgot to identify it. It is a Model 1900 American Eagle that was specifically intended for the US market. It is roughly mid-production so perhaps it dates from 1903 but can't nail it down much more than that. It has a "long" frame and receiver, with the classic 120mm long "pencil" barrel.
If you can get some nice clear photos of the gun, you can probably get a very accurate estimate of worth right here on the forum and save yourself the hassle of shipping with the attendant shipping cost and appraisal fees.
Thank you for sharing this treasure.
Ron

P.S. Mike beat me to the draw...again!
