What is my Luger (and what's it worth?)

Here's a link to our FAQ PDF document, which you'll find quite useful for reference.

Welcome to the forum.

The acceptance stamp on the bottom of the magazine is a Weimar Eagle (droop eagle) over 63. It was made by / for Mauser.

I'd estimate your Luger's value with the magazine at $1600 if the Luger's numbers are, in fact, matching. There are internally numbered parts that would need to be checked, along with the inside of the grips .

Use extreme care when removing the grips - especially the left one - so as not to chip them near the top and the safety lever.

The barrel looks newer than the rest of the Luger. Also, IIRC, one of our members here makes replacement barrels for Lugers because of some arcane barrel length requirement by the Canadian authorities. It might be worth measuring the muzzle-to-breech length, not that it matters here but it may have been swapped out in Canada.

Nice looking Luger. My WAG would be in the $1200 to $1500 range, depending on the abundance or scarcity of Lugers in where ever you live.

It is the original barrel, or an original replacement; one can see the original DWM(Spandau) firing proof on the rear of the barrel in two of the pictures.
