I would say the $1400-$1600 is about right - depending on if you are buying or selling.

I have seen a star like this on French occupied (post war) and on other guns, it almost seems like the star/asterisk is a universal marking

Well I bought it for $1800 because there has been a low amount of quality WWII produced lugers around. Might have been a bit high, now the debate is to whether or not should I shoot it?
