The Luger Handbook is a useful little book. Prices listed anywhere--even Fjestad's Blue Book--seem to be only guidelines, they are more or less accurate depending on the moment, the gun, and the people involved. Davis's book is certainly out of date with prices, but useful as an indicator. It is also in error concerning the finish of later Lugers (see Thor's posting back-forum). All that being said, the book is indispensible for walking around a gun show (or anywhere else there are Lugers around), particularly if one is not one of the encyclopediac experts who inhabit this forum. It can't be beat as the starting point for identification and valuation of any Luger you might run across.
