Stan, you're probably being "played" by the Luger "expert".

When I do valuations, one of my rules is that I am never the one to make the offer.

Functioning mismatched and refinished parts Lugers are worth more than $700 today. Bring back certificates may add $50-$75 to the value of a Luger, and if legitimate provide provenance.

As previously mentioned, we need to see detailed in focus and well illuminated photos taken in natural soft light to see the details that will help answer your question. The Luger FAQ mentioned has quite a bit of reference information and detail you may find helpful.

As I see you have not been back in a week, perhaps you've got other priorities or lost interest?

Quintin, few officers were interested in carrying anything as bulky and heavy as a Luger. Most of them purchased smaller pocket pistols like the Mauser M1914, M1934 or the Walther PP or PPK series.
