Inherited German Luger

gmayer1 · 07-27-2011, 10:14 PM

I inherited this DWM German Luger and would like to hear what a fair market price would be to sell it. It has a serial number 8850 i on it. I don't know anything else about it but would like too. I'm not looking for an exact appraisal just generally what its worth.

It appears to be a commercial model which has been buffed & reblued and fitted with, uh, ill-fitting/unusual grips...

Can you insert a pencil down the barrel??? Any markings on the magazine???

Many more pics would be needed to nail down a value...but right around $600 would be my best guess...as is...

Well, I see my copy and paste did not work, welcome to the forum, we would need a bit more information, caliber, if marked germany, etc

At a gunshow I would give around $450-$500 for it and resell at my table for around $600, if a commercial and in 7.65mm, then it is harder to sell (9mm is much cheaper to shoot).
