I'm curious about the tag with '12' on it...Does that indicate it is item #12 in the auction??? Sometimes [not always] it is good to bid on early items; they seem to go for less...People haven't gotten into the proper spending mood yet; auctioneers are anxious to break the bidding barrier, get more people involved...

Online pictures always accentuate defects...This Luger looks pretty good to me...
Yes it is the twelfth item up for bid.

If this Luger is correct and truly as nice in person as the photos show here, I would agree with Geo99 as to it's value. It looks to be a very nice Luger.

With a pitted left side? and likely cold blue touch up?

Maybe but I don't see it.

In my part of the Country, I don't find many nice Lugers....not many Lugers period, for sale. If I purchase on line, then the cost goes up quite a bit for shipping, insurance, etc.

If in person, that flaw on the left side is all of the problem/s, then I would be looking at it seriously IF I wanted/needed a Luger like this one.

I don't think so, I've been "bargaining" since the first pistol I bought, over 50 years ago.
Yes, I do too, it's part of the fun!

I doubt if they will let you field-strip it, but check all visible numbers for matching. You don't indicate where you live but if you have to ship via FFL then factor that in [fee] plus S&H [fee] and local tax [fee]. I would stop bidding at $1250 but I am a cheapie.

If you like it and think it's worth more then go for it. Auctions: Catch The Fever!!!

I live in Pennsylvania. So only a $3.00 firearms tax and a $5.00 background check from this auctioneer.
