1938 S/42 Shooter???

porschechris · 11-06-2010, 01:24 PM

Hello

I am looking to add a WWII shooter to my collection ( already have nice DWM commercial 30 cal luger).

I am looking at a 1938 S/42 luger, 95%, all matching parts including magazine, not refinished.

However, the stock lug has been ground down removing its collector value.

I estimate the street value as $800-$1000.

Is this correct? Would I be better off buying a mismatched parts gun for less as a shooter?

Do you think that a gun with the stock lug ground off Would be worth that much? In today's values.

It is a shooter, and the price is a bit high as such. Depending on how well is was ground off/refinished, I'd go $700 and no more if it is otherwise very nice.
