Lance, 06 Lugers were made in a certain time frame and sequence. To accurately analyize your pistol for worth it is necessary to authenticate it. The serial number is an integral part of that authentication. Both the numbers and the small letter suffix if there is any.
Further it will also be necessary..to fulfill your questions about worth to look for every serial number hidden on the pistol. There will be a 1-4 number serial on the front of the frame and under the barrel. There will also be various parts on the pistol with 1-2 serial numbers, the last 2 numbers of the main serial number.
All of this comes together to determine if the pistol is as it should be. That and dozens of other little nuances but the serial numbers come first. Without those..it is simply not possible to determine a value to this pistol.

But if you insist on a value with the information you are willing to give I value it at $12-1500
IF the pistol were able to be authenticated the value might more than double.

The vin for your truck and the serial number to this pistol are apples and oranges. There are literally HUNDREDS of Lugers out there with this same serial number. The Germans used serial numbers over and over.
