Value of inherited Luger?

Ron, Thje sight is not found on the toggle but behind it..towards the rear of the pistol. Your photo crops out most of that area but shows some of it and I believe you are correct..it does not appear to be there?

D'oh! More proof I know nothing about Lugers!

But to answer your question, there is indeed no rear sight. Although this shot doesn't show the top of the gun, you can still see there is no rear sight there.

You have an interesting gun, but it is just a shooter that someone has put together.

Please take a look at the serial number on the frame and compare the "2's" to the rest of the gun. For your education DWM used very specific fonts and the fonts used on the frame, side plate and rear toggle are not correct.

There has been substantial metal removed from the front of the frame and also the rear toggle.

This was most likely a 1916 DWM that someone modified for target shooting.

Interesting gun however, thank you for posting.
