very cool luger !
seems to me you could get an idea for value by adding up the parts and labor to recreate this very attractive luger
so - base gun mostly matching looks like no hacker involved - $700 up
barrel - really nice length and profile - even numbered same serial and also the diameter marking - $200
mechanical work remounting barrel ( and hopefully chambered ok - might be best to check / have it checked before shooting ) - $200
nice repro grips - $50
total at least $1150 ( and also the time to make all this happen ok )
but like a car restoration may not get anything for the time and varys significantly with venue offered
suggest if you decide to sell this one you place it in the WTS forum here - serious luger community and avoids up to 20% selling fees
possible that the extractor and firing pin are different numbers to avoid breakage of original like numbered parts - maybe your prior owner would have those parts somewhere
and maybe the firing pin was selected as a good match to the firing system parts - since overall looks like a case where the mechanic was very luger aware
what is barrel length including chamber ?
you could shoot without the holdopen while looking for a good one
thanks for sharing this one !
