According to Still's Third Reich Lugers (page 40), you have a so-called Subvariaton #1, of which 32,500 were estimated to have been made. Subvariation #2 is rarer, with only 6000 estimated (#1r-6000r). My guess for this rig with well worn closure strap and 75% finish is $1600-$1800 as a personal party transfer, but about $2500 to buy retail, such as on Simpson's site.

Sorry to disagree with the previous poster, but I would guess in todays market $1200 would be what you could expect. Holster and gun are just ok. David
