Help!! Please identify this long barrel luger

Gentlemen:

I wish to thank you all for the information on this particular gun. Regarding Mr. Andersons comment - I am relatively new to this level of Luger identification. All I have is Lugers at Random and a few other currently produced Luger books - and this one is not mentioned in any other than Lugers at Random. When I acquired this luger, I sent the exact pictures to a noted collector on the East Coast. After reviewing and a phone discussion, he indicated that it looked original and would be worth 10-12K. Now, there is a huge difference between his estimation and the above 800-1500 price range. As a relatively new member to the Luger field, I find it a sin that most of the detailed books (by Mr. Sill) are themselves collectors items (500+ on ebay) so that knowledge is unavailable to the average collector. Has there been any talk of reissuing Mr Sill's books either as updated editions and/or electronic? That would be a boon for the average guy. Thank you all for all the info you have provided and, if anything else is found, please post it.

Mark
