It takes some study to evaluate a luger--lots of fitted parts and a huge number of varieties. As for holsters, it is just as bad without the books available to help evalute them! It is not hard to talk someone through an evaluation but through email it can be ambiguous. Look at most of the external parts and if they have the last two numerical digits of the s/n on them, you have a good start. If it looks old but correct in terms of parts, finish, and feel--you are getting more good information. That said, your serial number appears incomplete--the four digits suggest a military style serial number but lots of commercials have that style numbering in the 1920's. There is a letter that should be after the s/n--look on the frame under the barrel.


The markings are important--particularly the s/n, any grip strap markings, and inspection stamps on the right of the chamber area. See what is there.


Without accurate info about the finish originality, though, valuation is difficult. It could be $350 to 900 for the pistol alone. If in working order, you won't get burned if you pay under $400. Good luck,
