I've had my own Luger (LP08) for years and so I've opened it up and clearned it many times. I really not new to the forum, but my friend is. So I got the takedown lever down but the sideplate doesn't want to pop off as easily as I'm used to. It's probably just a function of nobody cleaning it for decades! I see halos around the underside of the barrel and some on the frame. There's some strawing remaining on the trigger and safety lever. I was guessing the value was in the $1200 ballpark but I had no idea about the P38 holsters. Huh, I had no idea that the P38 holsters were going for so much. I'd assume that a name written on it would detract somewhat from the value. My friend will be happy to hear all of this! Thanks!
