Hi,

The finish of the salt blued metal and the golden "strawed" metal on your gun is in very good condition. If it was never refinished after manufacture, this makes your gun much more valuable. Collectors want Lugers that have not been "messed" with...

The cursive letter "c" seen under your 2088 serial number is actually part of the gun's serial number. "2088c".

The nickel plated wood based magazine is likely contemporary with the gun. The blued magazine (is it an "FXO"?) is much later.
