Hello Raistlinma,


Of course everything depends on rairity and condition of the gun.


American Eagles are very rare and expensive (the 4-7 thousand), if they are of the test guns from the American Tests on deciding if they wanted to adopt the Luger as its handgun.


The Star of David is unlikely, and I would venture impossible on a German Officers gun. That could make sense if the gun had been sent to Isreal after the war, but not from being captured from a German Officer.


If you can scan in or take a picture of your Luger, sides, top, etc., that would make a huge difference in being able to judge worth or value.


With a few exceptions, any mismatching of luger parts, brings the price down dramatically.


I looked at an American Eagle last weekend for $825, another for $1200 and an actual test gun for $2,500. The 1st and 3rd in good shape, the 1,200 in fairly nice shape. Ralph Shattuck has them on his web page.


It is possible, but unlikly that an American Eagle would end back up in Germany and used by a German Officer. Nothing is impossible, there are many instances of US citizens going back to the motherland and serving with the German Gov't, but I find it unlikley that an American Eagle would end up back in Germany.


I don't mean to sound negative, just that there are lots of variables with this Luger.


Some further information, markings, pictures, etc., would help some of the experts in determining your Luger.
