History of a luger

Hi Rich,

Any documentation as to when and to whom it was issued has long since been destroyed or lost.

I will up Ed's estimate as to value. I would estimate insurance replacement value at around $1400 to $1600.

Here's a link to one that was recently sold. This dealer's prices are considered to be approx. 25%+ higher than most would sell for. Also the Luger listed is in nearly unissued condition, which boosts the value considerably.

If you were to try to sell it out right. I think that $1300 would be a realistic value in today's slow market, but this is just an estimate. It also appears to have some pitting on the barrel which tends to bring the collector value down.

Welcome to the forum.
