Artillery Receiver Value

Thank you G.T. and Postino. I agree that some idiot tried to remove the barrel without the proper tools. Happily, that idiot wasn't me! I hope my pictures clearly show what a buyer would receive. I don't believe the receiver is warped as it will slide onto a frame until it reaches the point on the rail where the damage is and then it gets tight but will go on. A toggle train fits perfectly on it.

It was my intention to rebarrel it but I have enough "shooters" so it's surplus to my needs.

To the best of my knowledge, only Erfurt followed the 1916 military order to notch all Luger receivers for the Artillery sight. Therefore, any DWM notched receiver will have originally been an Artillery model. That, of course, will mean nothing to someone who only wants a shooter.
