1920 Commercial

Hello David,

The 1920 Commercial Luger is the lowest priced pistols currently as there were so many of them produced and exported to the US, and other countries. The ones that have the Stoeger, Bannerman stamps do bring a premium.

Most of the Commercials will have the shorter barrel than the 9mmP and will be in .30 cal Luger. With them being so low in cost, they are an excellent starter pistol. The prices for an excellent conditioon pistol will be approx. $800 and can go up from there, many of thewse pistols are not in top condition and the price will be as low as $400-500 for the average Luger. Althought they don't have the history of the wartime Lugers, they certainly are fun to shoot and collect. The only problem for the .30 cal. is the ammo availalbity. The Fiocchi ammo seems to be underpowered and I have never tired any other brand. Reloading for this caliber would seen to be the way to go for consistant operation.

Your pistol with the "safe" and "loaded" stamp will have a higher value that the standard German stamps. This may put your pistol near the $1000 range in exc. condition. I am just learning a little on the Commercials so my pricing may not be 100% correct, but I feel this is close.
