Looking at purchasing a luger.

No expert on these things, but this sounds like a standard military pistol.

The letter 'U' on the frame is an important part of the serial number and the 8,81 is the land diameter in mm.

The first issue in determining value, (given the information you provided), is the percentage completeness of the finish. From your description it sounds high, maybe 95% or so, could you evaluate it in those terms ?

Secondly, is the finish the original one ! This is the major factor ?

Hope this helps a little, and posting a couple of pictures here would help the experts on the board give you some great advice.
