This gun belonged to a widow friend of my wife and I. The woman had helped my wife and I out quite a bit (loaned us a truck and trailer to haul a couple of horses about 600 miles and didn't charge us a thing!, boarded some horses for us at a ridiculously low price...) Recent years things have got kind'a tight for her, so I figured I would repay here by not charging her when I came to work on her horses (I am a farrier (horse shoer for the city folks)) After I had been out to work for her several times she said she had a couple a guns she wanted to give me... not so much as payment, but she knew I was into guns and they had been sitting there since her husband had passed some twenty years back. When I got this one home and started doing some research, I realized it to have quite a bit of value... called her and told her what I had found out and that I could not accept the gun... After discussing it with her we decide I would try to figure out exactly what it is, what it is worth and the best way to sell it for her (the gun will be sold for her, though I am sure she will kick me a few bucks) Now I just need to figure out the BEST way to sell something of this value...

I have asked about it... she says she has never seen it... this gal reached down under a work bench, and pulled this gun out, wrapped up in a wool sock! If her hushband had had a stock for it, I am afraid it has been lost or destroyed...

Sorry for your friends loss, but this is a hopeful story for us Luger guys...there still are treasures out there to be found! There are several guys on here that are much more on the ball about values, but even without the stock,and if it's as nice as it looks I'd say its in the 8-10K range...you could put it on consignment with a big outfit like Simpson LTD or for auction on Gunbroker, etc. Hell, one of our more affluent members here might buy it!
