? regarding value of a DWM 1916/1920 marked luger

Mike, I don't even have to look at the your info

, being plated, whether gold, silver or nickle will only appeal to some folks. Value on a plated gun is about $450 - $650, maybe more if someone is taken by the "gold" color.

Value, unplated from $650-$1100, maybe more if it had been in really, really nice shape (I sold one recently for $1500 that is really nice, have another one like it), usually police in really nice shape sell for around $1000-$1300.

It is a police gun, was originally army, then taken into police service (the S.P.L. is known to me, I have a SPD marked luger)

At this point - 'tis a shooter I guess.
Oh well - Not my gun.

I've also recently seen a M1 carbine, paratrooper model that was chrome plated.

Why, Why, Why would people do these things to these guns?

Oh well, the ruthless hand of ignorance strikes again.
