I'm seeing a fairly common late war Erfurt in original condition. I'd guess around here it would bring around $1000, probably a bit less.
I'm a bit concerned with the way the toggle appears to be loose and off to the left side in the barrel extension receiver, with the extractor hitting the left side as it goes forward into battery. Looks a bit loose or otherwise damaged to me, but it could be the photo, or my eyes, or maybe they all do that and I never noticed. Or maybe because it is a late war Erfurt and they were in a bit of a pinch at the time.
Our own Luger Doc can suply a barrel, but keep the original and don't alter anything else such as the finish, or the value will drop markedly.
Careful non-distructive cleaning is in order too, but it is a nice looking old gun. Too bad about the Canadian laws.
