What's it worth?

[zenithman]

I havent figured out how to start a new web thread so I have attached mine to this one in hopes of getting some help with a value of my fathers luger he brought back from the war. I have checked through the luger identification form and found the following information. The toggle inscription is S/42 The serial number is 214. All the parts match including the clip. They all have 14 stamped on them. The grips look like walnut Im guessing and they are checkered with no boarder. The toggle knob is round with a rough maachines endge to keep fingers from slipping. It is 9MM. the barrel length looks like 3 1/4 inches. Thumb safety is safe in rear position and says Gesichert. It has three markings on the right front side of the receiver that look lik # 46 on the sheet only this one has two birds with the number63 under them and the last figure I can't find in the sheet looks like some kind of a rectangle with a line drawn through it and a couple of lines down the sides of the rectangle. The front and rear sightsare fixed. Clip bottom looks like its made of aluminum and has the same markings as the pistol 214 G. No safety grip, no stock lug, but it does have what looks like a place to slide a sholder stock onto it. The gun retains what looks like to me about 95% of it's original bluing and has the gold colored trigger that is mint. My father brought this home from WW2 and he never fired it. I comes complete with the holster which is marked 1938 with some kind of logo next to it that says C. weiss and an eagle next to it. It has the take down tool in the case and an extra clip that does not match the guns number. I would have to say this gun is about as good as it gets. It was kept in cosmolene untill about 20 years ago. When I was a kid he had the firing pin removed from it but had replaced it when he took it out of it's protective coating. Any help would be appreciated concerning it's approxamate value. Thank you.
