researching a luger

Hi Chris, The serial number on the stock iron (29e if I'm not mistaken) identifies it as one of the last produced before the end of hostilities in Nov 1918. This would explain the missing inspection mark and the fact that it didn't see service.
I'm reluctant to value it however, as some collectors might regard it's virginity as an asset, others as a liability (I'm in the latter group). Maybe someone else will pitch in.
Regards, Norm
