Hi there,

I recently acquired my great grandfathers 1917 DWM Artillery luger. It appears to be in good condition. Here are some pics. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me rougly what its worth? Its all matching serial numbers except for the magazine. I also have the original Holster and wooden buttstock.

I can get more pics. There is one issue however;

my great grandfather lightly etched his SIN number into the grip handle underneath the trigger guard. I know this will decrease value, but the question is by how much. I know it functions well, and according to a local gunsmith the bore is in excellent condition. (no rust)

If someone could tell me the approximate value i'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
