I think it more likely, though, that they don't want the party they purchased a gun from to know how much they are actually getting for it. Regards, Norm

Norme, that makes sense to me as a dealer reason, nefarious as it may be.

There is no reason I can think of except that something about the pistol or its history may be suspect.

ithacaartist, that is exactly what I have concluded. For an private person trying to sell a luger, it smacks of a scam.
