These Russian Capture Lugers sold recently for around $700. This one is in particularly nice condition, so may be worth $100 or $150 more than that. (I was typing as David posted above - our estimates are roughly the same)...
If someone removed the import mark, I believe that is a violation of the ATF regulations and law. Take a good look over all the metal to see if there is an import stamp elsewhere. Use care when removing the grips.
It would be odd for a military marked take down lever to be defaced on the bottom where your lever is. It might have been off a commercial Luger (which has it's numbers in that location).
