Because of it being a mismatch of parts, plus buffed and reblued, it falls into a shooter category and not into a collector category. If it is a reliable shooter, and functions correctly, in my area of the Country it would sell for $7-800. In some areas where a Luger is scarce, a bit more.

As to shooting it, I highly suggest that:
(1) Do NOT use that wood base mags, as age has weakened the wood and it my just crack/break if you load it fully. An aftermarket Mec-Gar mag is a much better choice for shooting, plus it will have new mag springs.

(2) Do NOT use NATO, +P, or +P+ ammo in this luger. Standard Velocity ammo like Winchester White Box, PMC, Federal American Eagle in 115gr, or 124gr FMJ should work for you.

(3) Use a good firm grip on your Luger, as they will malfunction without it.

(4) Field strip this Luger for a good cleaning and lube before going to the range. Many times these handguns have had zero attention for years and years. They are just a machine, and they need to be clean and lubed.

Let us know how things work out for you and your new Luger.
