Luger 1940 42 with star on barrel

[DavidJayUden]

I'm not certain of the star marking, but do not be talked into paying more for it.
That price seems a bit high, sort of last-man-oput retail. I'd rather see it at $1400.
Do all internal numbers match, and what of the magazine? Bore condition? Holster?
Oveall it seems like a nice, but not uncommon, Luger.
Welcome.

David, I'm sure the majority here would agree with you. But I'm too old to wait years for a reasonable price, and if I could get this pistol (with a pristine bore) for ~$1700 in a face-to-face sale, no FFL fee, no sales tax, no S&H charge, I think it would be a good deal.

I don't have all that many years left and I want to enjoy what I have left now...

(And there does seem to be a certain interest in late WW II Lugers w/Third Reich markings)...
