David -
I'm going on what I would pay for it. I'm not a collector, and if I were a new buyer with no Lugers and only sketchy knowledge about them, I really wouldn't care about matching numbers, mismatched parts, wrong mag, or import markings. If the OP were to post it on GB or AA or GA, Jan's, here, or anyplace where collectors scrutinize the listings looking for bargains, he might get the prices you guys suggest. But there are also VOPO, Russian captures, parts buildups, etc for ~$850, by my observations. Quite a few of these are good looking Lugers, and that's all new owners are looking for these days. A nice looking Luger to shoot occasionally, hang in your safe to admire, and not spend a lot for.
As stated repeatedly in other threads, you could post this Luger at your price and it might sit for a year before being sold...or it might sell tomorrow...or not sell at all...
I find it humorous that there is another thread here where the guy has looked up advised prices here and you all told him that it is too much...
Depends what the seller wants to do...Quite a few who ask for an estimate here just seem to be looking to sell it quick and get what they can...lots of 'attic treasures" being uncovered...and being sold off by people who aren't gun buffs or whose wives won't allow guns in the house...
