Erfurt 1917 rough value

garyb · 03-21-2010, 11:08 PM

I am a new member and working to bring a Luger from South Africa to the US. This Luger was captured by a british officer in WWII. It is in good condition, with all matching s/n's and 2 origional magazines (Wood extractors) and a holster. It has a 4" barrel.

I would greatly appreciate some sort of value range estimates. I have no plans to sell it but I am going to a lot of expense to get it across the pond and want to make sure it is worth the investment.
Thx
Gary.

I recently sold such a set for, as I recall, either $1400 or $1600. It was a very decent rig.
Will yours have to be stamped (marked) by an importer to get it into the country?

Unless there is sentimental value or you are gettting it free; then hard to imagine it is worth it; although if it is WW1 unit marked to a colony?
