Need reputable WV gunsmith

There are some I am sure, however I think most knowledgeable collectors know more about lugers than most gunsmiths ( a few aside).

Cleaning is easy

appraisel by a gun smith is not what you need, you need someone who knows lugers and not someone who can look up a model in the blue book or the other book that has values that may or may not be accurate.

I suggest you post 5-10 pictures here on the forum and get a quick estimate first, top of the gun, both sides, close areas of front frame, or other markings.
