Newbie johnw with 1940-42 questions

johnw · 06-18-2009, 02:57 PM

I am new to this forum and lugers in general. Not sure if I'm in the correct forum or not. With the help of this site I have started identifying my 1940-42 9mm that has been in the family for approx 30 yrs. Need some advice please:

1. what is it worth? (not very knowledgable with bluing or overall condition) Numbers all match serial 218 with exception of two magazines. Holster is dated 1937 with a quarter size rot hole in spare magazine slot.

2. the collection sheet - 'hold open device' yes or no; don't think mine has this but is that normal/ok for my model?

3. storage advice for gun and holster (holster has one spot of dry rot from lack of attention)

4. channels for selling if I decide to - gun shows, internet, etc?

Thank you
