What is value of this Luger?

Jon,

Although I listed all the issues that concerned me about this gun in my first post, these last few posts reminded me that I did forget to mention one thing: This pistol is, indeed, handsome in its own right. Strange, but handsome... Its lines are still relatively sharp, and the combination of bright steel and nice patina of the grips has a charm all its own. If you reload already, and it comes with dies, what the hey, maybe the caliber will work for you. It is a lot sweeter to shoot than the 9, which helps justify a tad of the extra expense if buying, or learning curve/trouble if reloading. So, I'd say you'd do just fine with this one; but only if you really like it!
