Thank you for the info. Can you please explain to me how you can see all of those things? Please do not take this as an argument but all of the numbers match. The bluing appears original, the wood.....what is the clue there?

....it is a mis-matched:
Receiver (not frame) is numbered 3741, sear bears #41... rest of parts marked with #65

...re-barreled:
The barrel length is not consistent with any 1937 Mauser production

...re-blued:
Polishing is evident on the proof marks

...shooter:
Maybe we don't know that (unless you test fire it)

...with incorrect grips:
They are not original pattern

...perhaps in the $700 range:
That's an approximate value

Thank you all VERY MUCH. I have been around guns since 1955 and have never gotten around a Luger. Goes to prove you still can teach an OLD dog new tricks. You are all gentlemen for helping.

Thanks again
