1916 DWM

River56 · 07-23-2004, 01:47 PM

I am not an accomplished Luger collector, but I have accumulated a couple over the years. However, I do not know how to place a value on them. I do not have any pictures as they are in a safe deposit box at the moment. I would appreciate any honest estimates of value. I am considering the sale of both.

1: A 1916 DWM military, matching serial numbers, matching magazine, 99% (no rust, scratches, original blue and straw). The gun appears unfired. I base this on the fact that there does not appear to be any worn areas on the bluing of moving parts or evidence of brass on the breech block face.

2: 1920 DWM military, matching serial numbers, non-matching Hanel Schmeiser extruded aluminum clip, an honest 90% gun.

I thank you all in advance for your help and thoughts.

You have asked a very hard question to answer without a least pictures, what I would suggest is visiting some of the larger Luger dealers, look at thier list, some will include pictures to help you judge your guns...try www.simpsonltd.com, or www.worldoflugers.com, www.fgsinc.com...and please get and post pictures here as soon as you can, it will help. But if this is not the answer you where looking for and you want a quick ball park number I would say Luger#1 $1,800+ and #2 $950...then again you condition listed above, may not be a buyers estimate of your guns condition....
