I would amend that to say "Buffed & reblued Lugers"...If just dipped (not buffed, or very slightly), at least another $100 higher...

(My valuing source = Jackson Armory in Dallas , Texas, where even a Russian capture is worth $950 starting bid -

Russian Capture...refinished...put together from WWI and WWII parts...short barrel...good shooter Luger... Some surface wear...rebarreled...Numbers don’t match...Wood grips have some wear... Comes with one (not matching) magazine...As is.

And here's another $950 shooter; same source -

That's the opening bids, mind you...
