Either is a good price if they function, the first is a 1920 Commercial Luger that is export marked, or in Still terms an Alphabet DWM. I would imagine the first is in 30 Luger caliber and the second is probably chambered in a 9mm Luger caliber. Also check the barrel length on the first (make sure the gun is empty with the action closed, then place a pencil in the muzzle until it stops against the breech fast, measure the depth it went into the barrel, should be around 3 & 3/4" and second weapon will have a 4" barrel. The first one in 95% condition if all matching (and original matching parts, not restamped, including hold open and firing pin) would be worth $800-$1000. I would imagine there is a mismatched part on it or the seller doesnt know what he has.
