Current Luger values

[mrerick]

If your Luger is all matching and in the original finish, it would be considered collectible. It's hard to judge these things from the photos, but what I can see looks right. If it is all right then you paid just over half of it's collector value. If not, as a high grade "shooter" it would still be worth $1200.

What's the bottom of the magazine look like? It's from a slightly later period than the Luger, but if it's a "fxo" or "E/122" or "E/37" marked it's got value too.

The grips are authentic, but apparently not matched to the gun.

Look inside the side plate, and confirm that the numbers in there correspond to the first digits of the Luger's serial number (either the same digits, or the digits plus 1).

Look at the recoil spring linkage mounted at the rear of the receiver. Is it in the white? Is the trigger bar in the trigger plate in the white?

It will be worth having the grips reconditioned and repaired.

Thank You . The two digits inside the side plate are 5 and 9 . (???). First and last digits of serial number in reverse order. Lol. The MAGAZINE and the bittom of it have NO MARKINGS of any kind. Looks like a rough war time finish. Yes, I think when I had it appart , some small parts are in the white. I did not e,amine each and every part , but everything I could see has "25" stamped on it. Also , I would like to learn grading system of COMMON midel lugers ( like mine). What's : all correct, shooter grade , collectible vs shooter , etc . Where would mine fit ?
