Is it of any value?

Ed,
Thanks for your reply. I have observed on other sites that there is a vast difference in Luger prices depending on collector value as a consequence of rarity, condition and established provenance. I was initially concerned that the piece might be of collector interest and getting the value it deserves in any sale for my friend. We have seen savvy buyers offer low ball prices for choice pieces to uninformed sellers. The scond point of worry was the absence of proof-marks and a serial number. If the number I found on the frame and barrel are indeed a serial, then I will stop worrying about being arrested for possessing it. I tried downloading the ID forms from this website and it locked up my computer. I will try again today. I do jewelry appraisals and have the ability to take excellent close up photos, so I will do so soon. Do I post those to the website or to specific members like you?
Again, I appreciate your response.
