canuto, your Luger should have it's own thread and not be a trailer to this one. Not a criticism but a suggestion in order that your question be properly seen by the members and answered as well as possible.
Pictures of the Luger and it's box and accessories would be very helpful. It sounds like one that has been either privately spiffed up (sorry, that means ruined as far as a collectable) or one of those Lugers turned into an instant "collectable" by one of those outfits who ruin good Lugers in an effort to turn a quick buck from an unsuspecting and novice buyer. They've been advertised in various gun and sporting magazines and hurt the eyes of Luger collectors to the point of causing tears. On the off-chance that it may be an original presentation pistol, the pictures you post here will tell the tale.
I apologize if I seem harsh but the reality is that it is what it is..... designed to appeal to someone who like glittery things. I have no idea what you have invested in it and IF it's as I suggest, you may want to find a buyer who's not interested in collector value and then use the money to buy an original, un-altered Luger.
Please try to post pictures for a better analysis.
