I would like to see a closeup of the front sight from both sides and the muzzle end. It looks rather unusual in the only photo in which it show.

If the grips prove to be genuine ivory, then I think that the OVERALL value of the gun is a bit more... Genuine Ivory grips that have been tastefully fitted (many of them are crudely fitted) would be an item that might please some Luger owner, and when you find them, they sell for several hundred dollars. This pair would obviously fit a DWM frame and might enhance the right pistol.

This pistol is a curiosity, but not a collector. It is a shooter, and commands only a shooter's price. The engraving, really doesn't add much to a mixed-part gun.

If you get the gun for the estimates given here, and it SHOOTS, you haven't done badly for a shooter. If the grips prove to be Ivory and not some man made material, you could sell those and end up with a shooter that costs must less.

That's My $0.02
