Judging from the quality of the finish that Ken Karsted did on Toms shooter Luger, he woud be worth at least a phone call to see what he could do, how long it would take, and how much it would cost. I do not know how much you paid for it in its present condition, but I do not think you would go far wrong in expending at least $1000-$1500 on a good restoration. I think properly restored, the value would be in the neighborhood of previously stated $6000 - or more.
