I know that evaluating a Luger from pictures is a guesstimate at best, so any input on value and condition would be appreciated.

I have looked on many sites that have Lugers for sale, and from their statements of condition, I would say that this piece has between 75-80% of the finish remaining. Grips are solid on both sides, no cracks or chips, but the right grip does have a dime-sized spot of wear that looks like a strap or something must have worn on the grip for a long time. The checkering is still there in that spot, but it is noticably worn more than the rest of the grip. All parts are numberd either 783 or 83 and match with the exception of the magazine, which is numbered 3316 t and then a nazi eagle over 63.

Take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think. Thanks in advance for your opinions and information.
