Inherited a couple nice lugers, looking for a value.
I inherited a small collection of military items and firearms from my father and although I do have a small collection of weapons, I don’t know anything about lugers. I am considering consigning the two lugers through a local gun shop but I feel as though I am truly at the owners mercy as far as knowing what they are worth.
The first is a 30 cal 1921 DWM serial number 9768 that my father purchased in 1968. All the numbers that I can see seem to match.
The second is a 9 mm Husqvarna luger that my grandfather purchased in 1959, serial number D10843 with a beautiful black leather holster that also holds cleaning tools.
I see everyone saying that value is very dependent on condition, and I don’t have any pictures right now, but they have been stored correctly and seem to be in perfect working condition.
Can anyone give me a ball park value?
I’ve enjoyed looking through this forum, and I may consider holding onto one of them, or maybe looking into getting a “shooter” if these are too valuable to shoot. I have just been intimidated by the odd workings of them. Up to this point I have been more of a revolver man. Keeping it simple. I hope that doesn’t get me kicked off the forum.
Thanks for the input.
