1st Luger - Newbie

[Josey]

What a great place this is for finding out info on these Lugers. I had most of my questions answered by exploring this forum. I tried to upload the pics of my Luger but was told the file was too large and not being very computer literate I don't know how to downsize them. Anyhow, about the Luger I just purchased. It came out of an estate auction a few months ago of a WW2 Vet, a German Vet. named Gerhardt Diehl. Pistol appears to have never been apart since being built. It is a 1938 S/42 and it is in super condition with what only looks like holster wear on the finish. If anyone would like me to email pics to them for a better evaluation I will gladly do so. The only numbers that don't match the pistol are the magazines which I have since found is quite normal. The bore is pristine and I don't think this pistol was fired very much. Would anyone want to give an estimate on value? I can tell you that I paid $2000 for it and I'm hoping that it is worth a little more that or at least what I paid for it. I will answer any questions you may have because I'm sure I missed something in my description. Thanks for any input on this Luger. Josey
