Mark,
you did excellent, almost too good. Ed's comment will show you that even good Lugerheads get burnt. I have a big drawer full of my "mistakes". A 1915 chamber date is a tough year to get. Check out a little calculation that I am adding.
1914-1918 DATED ARTILLERY CALCULATIONS
(1) Add $350 for matching stock
(2) Add $200 for proper non-matching stock
(3) Add $200 for original leather holster with shoulder strap
(4) Add $200 for rare 1914 chamber date (I add, much more for a DWM 1914 chamber date)
(5) Add 20% for 1915 chamber date
(6) Add 20% for Imperial Unit Markings (depends on history of the unit)
Reference: 2000 Gun Value Book
I am almost afraid to see a picture of your 1915 Artillery. Check out the serial numbers to make sure they match. But don't feel bad if you find something wrong. You should have seen the first one that I bought. It was a six pack of beer ugly. Then you should have seen the first one that I bought when I went out without an advisor tagging along. Another six pack! I've finally got it down good enough where my "mistakes" are only three cans.
