I have a Luger I picked up in a trade, all numbers match except the magazine, which is an aluminum bottomed replacement mag with no markings. I'd give the overall condition at 90%, but the safety looks like it was polished (probably to clean off surface rust?). It has DWM proof marks,some honest holster wear and the right grip is dimpled in the center (I'd guess from the stud holding a holster closed)and the grips have shrunk a little. I had the idea this pistol was worth around $500.

A buddy of mine over at THR said... no way with all matching numbers, that's a collectors item worth over a grand.

I've been shooting it occasionally... should I? And what do you think it's worth?
