Reworked Luger

No markings , probably a replacement barrel(commercial?).

No idea of value in Finland, here $500 +/- ; but then everyone will have a different opinion of "value".

Hi Don,

Yes, this is a possibility.

I think this Luger started life as a WW1 9mm artillery Luger. Can you say in what year it was manufactured? It is matching except the barrel which has no markings.

The rework is done crudely and the replacement barrel has more machining marks than usually.

It is dip refinished with no buffing. The surface is rather ugly and with a grey color. Clearly the barrel has not received the same treatment and the barrel bluing is almost gone.

Can this one be an arsenal rework?

Thank you,

-Juhani
