I think that would depend on how much the 'smith' valued his time. The forearm attaching piece is radically different from a Luger carbine but is obviously easier to make. The frame attachment pieces are also, compared to an OEM stock lug, easier to make. Whoever made it did not copy an existing Luger carbine but they did a creditable job. Not masterful, but not totally 'bubba' either. I didn't notice until now that it had a fitted box - That would bump up the price.

Not enough pics to tell what the rear/barrel sight is.

A gun show would be the perfect place to sell it. To a new enthusiast.
