No one wants to make a [public] estimate???

OK...Here goes...

The Luger itself is a DWM 'Police" Luger, not the most desirable of Lugers...Maybe would go for $700 to $900 on GunBroker.com by itself...

A run-of-the-mill buyer isn't all that concerned about matching numbers...

The markings on the gripstrap are of interest only to a niche collector...

The holster and two mags are a nice accessory, maybe add another $300/$400...to a collector...

Now...A collector of these might well pay more than my off-the-wall estimate...Maybe $1500 & up...

But that is a serious collector...There are some on this Forum (they may well have contacted you already)...but otherwise, you might have to advertise and wait for a buyer...

You are on the right Forum; maybe post on Jan Still's Forum as well...

So...To sum up, I'll say $1200 - $1500 for the lot...There will be some who will [indignantly] say that is too low...

But as a casual buyer, and not a collector, that would be my estimate...if I was to see it on GB or at a gunshow...that would be a reasonable price to me...

...My $.02...
