There are not enough detailed photos of the gun to make an informed call. Based on what I see parts of the pistol may have been reblued, (as in the sideplate) and the fit of the grips as well as the front sight indicate replacements. If all these issues were the reality then $800 would be on the high side of a fair price for the gun.

Is the magazine marked in any way?

Thanks for you guys quick replys. I want a Luger, but it has to be right. I am very picky with my guns.

Haven't you answered your own question? There's more than one fish in the sea. Toss it back and continue fishing.

Mine is numbered.

OK, Lets get this right. It has no collector value and is not worth 650.00? I guess I am in the market for a nice Luger if any of you guys can steer me in the right direction.

Hi Ronnie, Is the breech block (front toggle) numbered to the gun? It's numbered on it's left side, as shown in the photo. If it is, while not exactly the Louisiana purchase, I think this gun a bargain at $650.00. Regards, Norm

Yes Norm, it is numbered correct. Is it safe to shoot without the hold open?

Absolutely, it just won't hold open after the last round is fired. Regards,Norm
