Value of this luger? Might bid on it..

phatrick88 · 05-30-2008, 03:41 PM

I'm looking for my first Luger, and would like a shooter to start off with and don't have the funds for a prestine model anyways. I found this on gunbroker, it's a 37 S/42, a lot of mismatched parts, claimed 90% bluing, with a good bore. Besides being mismatched from the frame to toggle, the side plate is as well which tells me it was probably a Russian Capture? Anyways...what do you think it's worth? I'd guess $500-ish. I might place a bid if it doesn't go too high. Thanks guys

Phat:

90 percent bluing is questionable. Big Ding in side plate. Will probably
require some work to make a shooter. That being said it will likely bring
$500.00

I agree with Ken..You may want to ask the seller IF it will shoot. It might not fire and require a lot of tinkering or spare parts or a gunsmith. More Money!
