Again, without knowing the full finish condition, inside barrel condition and originality of the grips, it's hard to estimate value here.
I think an arty all matching and original finish would be worth $1200 at the low end, and the upper teens on average.
Be forewarned! The most costly thing on a Luger is the addiction that comes with it. You can feel the addiction as you hold your first Luger in your hand. The balance... The graceful design. And, in the case of an Arty, the long barrel and precision sights...
How are you going to keep that beautiful pup in clothes!!!
It's not too difficult to re-assemble your trigger plate or dis-assemble the Luger. Just take things slow, and don't force things. The little round pin in the trigger plate is sometime in there very snugly, so consider getting help from a gunsmith experienced with Lugers if you need it.
YouTube has some videos on disassembly / reassembly, so search there as well...
Again, welcome and congratulations on your Arty. You did very well in your exchange.
Marc
