Selling here on the forum is not a bad thing, value is about what David said, the holster since it has been damaged on the magazine pouch is not worth much.... but can be fixed.

Internet is good, such as gunbroker, but figure fees of $35-$55 and gun shows or shops, you will be offered around $500-$600 most likely.

PS; since all lugers after 1913 were mandated to have hold opens, either you have one and its broken, or it came out. It is a numbered part, which can affect value drastically. Value down several hundred to most folks.

Way to tell, take it apart and take a picture of the frame (part you hold in your hand) from above, and it will show us if it has a hold open. Be aware that the take down will be tight, but once you push the barrel back with your hand it comesa "free" feeling and will then turn.....
