What is this one worth

Matthew..you are projecting what Dwight is explaining about a commercial pistol onto your Military. Apples and oranges.
Yours is a 4" Military and is in 9MM. Started out that way. It was then placed in a Police unit and remained 9MM.
Read the thread..it is very well explained.

Thanks alot. I have been reading ALOT and am getting somewhat overwhelmed in trying to figure out just what I have and if it is of any significant value. I am presently unempoyed and need money BAD, so therefore I was thinking of selling the Luger. But the more I read the more I want to keep it, even though it belongs to my mother. She is living with us. So it isn't going anywhere. She doesn't like guns so it's mine anyway. Posession is 9/10ths of law right? There are some very interesting stories on these guns. And another thing I don't see many 1913's on here as opposed to the others, so I am thinking it might just be a treasured piece. And I definitely don't see any low serial numbers, and not many Lugers with all matching serial numbers. Everyone of my pieces that are required to have a serial # have it and they all match. Yet another reason not to sell it. That and the fact that it was my Grandpa's Luger. The bad thing is part of me wishes they didn't match cause I would love to fire it. I'm afraid I'll break something though.

Sorry to kidnap the thread, thanks again.
