Hi Andy,
here the value is of the weapon is priced on completely different attributes than in the US. Because of the very strict laws, there is no "collection" category for weapons. After the restoration this pistol worth about 50% more here. Not kidding. Based on the US terms this Luger was a shooter, as long as it was previously reblued. But the quality of that rebluing was not good enough. I strawed the parts, which was blued but shouldn't be. Now it looks original. And that makes the value here.

Tom
