Approx Value - Luger / Holster / Belt

mrerick · 09-19-2010, 07:39 PM

Having the bring back paperwork adds to the value of a rig.

Looks like you have both a WW-II Haenel and an earlier magazine.

Matching numbers (all parts that are numbered as well as magazines) and original finish are highly valued by collectors. Value drops as those things are not met.

There are a huge number of variables in valuation of a luger and rig components. For that reason we'd need to see detail of all the markings, serial numbers and finish condition.

Even with that it's hard to evaluate from pictures.

Take your photos with a tripod and a camera that can focus closeup. Don't use flash. Take the photos in indirect light. Perhaps a shaded area outdoors.
