He has had the Luger for some time, his uncle brought it back from WWII and told him to take care of it. I've inquired about buying it for years and he has always said no, he is giving it to his nephew.
He is now hard up for money, and said he would agree to sell it.
He was once told by a gun store it was worth $1500, but it seemed high to me.
I asked on another general gun forum and most posters said $1500 was way overpriced.
I have also posted on another Luger forum this morning to get a larger pool of opinions as to the actual value.
I suspect when I let him know most folks don't feel it is worth $1500, he may ask what I would be willing to pay, so if someone could give me an idea I'd appreciate it!
It is a non-matching gun, the trigger side plate doesn't match, and the one mag is not authentic or matching as it has no markings on it at all.
No rust or pitting, bore seems nice, action feels smooth and crisp, bluing worn away in a few spots. The end of the takedown pin looks dimpled like it had been hammered out.
I have pics on this page, I apologize in advance for the poor quality of them.
