Help valuing a Martz Luger

Don't know. But genuine Martz Luger has book value, so there must be some special collector interest on it, but you need to prove it's a genuine Martz Luger, just by words is not enough (of course, words may be enough, depends on buyer).

Assume it's genuine Martz Luger, it should be lower than Interarms Mauser. Postwar vs postwar, Mauser vs Martz, factory new vs restored parts, both stopped production,,,, I did not see any reason Martz should go above Interarms. The only advantage on Martz is the much smaller volume, but its interest party is also much smaller. That's my opinion.

2nd thought. For dedicated Martz collector, above mentioned "vs" does not count. What's really important will be the first point -- it must be a genuine Martz. Somehow, you have to offer proof.
