Hi Ron, welcome to the Luger Forum!! G-Date Lugers are found in one of six subvariations. There were about 55,000 G-Dates made in 1935. If you would tell me your serial number and the markings on the right side of the receiver, I would add it to my data base.

The value will depend on condition. The matching magazine will add to the value of your pistol. Photos would help!

As Frank said, WELCOME to the forum!

Pictures (digital or scanned in) would help make a "reasonable" guess on value. G-Dates are wanted by collectors, and although since it is a family piece you should keep her, there are collectors on the forum that like this year variation!
