Chet good layout in words, nice clear pictures. John and Craig's assesment on rebluing sounds good, simply because, although done well, it should show more wear and certain items sometimes shouldn't be blued.

If you look inside is it blued everywhere? Pitting or other areas that were stamped or damaged lightly after orginal bluing are the main ways to check.

As John said, reblued Lugers go for around $450 - $600 depending on where you live and what someone will buy it for. The holster looks in good shape and they go for around $150 - $200 on e-bay, magazines (one of the "spare" ones) go for $50 to $80, although Haenel Schmeisser ones seem to go for $100 and more on e-bay, I would say that 450 + 150 + 100 = a minimum of $700 as a Rig, but probably a bit more. Bit of repeat of John said, but I had already started and then saw John had replied, [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

So it depends on the market you are in, how much someone wants to pay for a Luger, as you may have noticed, people get excited at auctions on the internet and sometimes prices can be more than you'd think, if it gets bid on.
