1908 value

Kevon206 · 03-20-2009, 03:57 AM

can anyone tell me the value of a 1908 commercial luger, excellent condition or at least what i consider to be; rarely used, no damage or markings except tip of barrel, grips have no cracks or physical damage, all original parts. No GERMANY marking, not made for export from Germany from what ive read.

Kevon,
First, its very hard to make a value judgment unless you can post some photos.
Second, if you can give us some idea of the markings it does have, ie... the crown N and where its marked would be a great help.

If indeed it is as you say, and its properly marked,1908 non-export commercial Lugers are scarce the value is well over $2,000.

Based on the serial number I would suspect BUG proofs. Photos are needed to consider value. Are there any markings inside the magazine well on the bottum flat?
