You have a legitimate and matcing 1914 Commercial. Congratulations! [img]smile.gif[/img] At the 90% finish level you are looking at a value in the range of $1000 plus or minus. At 95%, somewhere around $1250. As far as cleaning and preservation goes, any good product such as Hoppes should be OK. Nothing abrasive! I usually protect my Lugers by wiping them down with a cloth lightly moistened with Tri-flow, which is similar to WD-40 but also has a teflon component. My conditions here in the desert Southwest are probably different than yours so maybe some forum member closer to your area has better products/suggestions.
