1916 DWM valuation

Chad, As norm says it's been molested at the hands of a refinisher. This pistol in it's original state would be highly collectable and bring big bucks. As it is... it becomes a shooter and very low end collectable. Good for the Luger guy who wants to experience shooting a Navy. As such..it's an expensive pistol to shoot. A regular Army reblued shooter would run in the $600-800 range. In this poor economy I think Norm's $2500 estimate is pretty much top of the market with the mag the way it is and the missing screw etc.
How to sell it? I would place it on the for sale section here with a $2500 price tag and see if anyone is interested. The ad is free.
Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Luger Forum!
