1917 Artillery Luger potential value

Lugernut123 · 04-29-2012, 02:57 PM

Hello all, I am new here.

I have yet to have a chance to take pics of this gun, but i had a couple of questions regarding my lugers worth. It appears to have matching serial numbers "5296", however;

1. Where would I find the serial number on the magazine and butt stock?

2. The strap at the bottom of the holster that holds the butt stock on is broken, how much does this decrease the value of it? It is otherwise in pretty good condition.

3. This is kind of a strage one. On the front part of the grip on the metal, underneat the trigger guard, my great grandfather etched his Social security number on it for ID purposes. I am wondering how much this would decrease the value of the Luger? Its otherwise in very nice condition. (From what I can tell, I will post pics soon)

Thanks
