1940 Luger
I am a long time gun collector and a new member of this forum. I priorly collect US military handguns but just picked up two Lugers in a trade deal. I may want to sell or trade a 1940 Mauser. It is in NRA very good to excellent condition with all matching parts including the firing pin. The lands and groves are strong but the barrel shows some frosting. The left grip panel has some checkering damage but no chips. Thew are not numbered bit both have warffen proof marks. What is an approximate sales price? Here are a few photos[URL=http://s29.photobucket.com/user/Blockislander/media/Lugers/DSC_0090_zps37a8ec78.jpg.html][/URL[URL=http://s29.photobucket.com/user/Blockislander/media/Lugers/DSC_0088_zps1c3f880e.jpg.html][/URL[URL=http://s29.photobucket.com/user/Blockislander/media/Lugers/DSC_0086_zps1d44a363.jpg.html][/URL

Welcome to the forum, Paul,
Your 1940 Mauser is quite the Luger! It is definitely a collectible. The observations, according to my callow skills, would be honest wear, shows consistency of such in finish and grip condition; mag is, I believe, period correct, so that's good; however the serial number area doesn't look true/round to me. It obviously wasn't force-matched to this pistol! The Lugers like yours are sought after 1) WWII mystique 2) Stronger shooters, for a couple of reasons 3) They are Lugers! If yours checks out with the community here, it is, conservatively, a $1.5k+ gun+holster, which looks good, too. We'd like to see pics of the mag and holster--you know--all angles and markings/dates. There, that's a start for you; now stay tuned, as many other posts will educate us about your pistol. Enjoy your time on the forum. D.P.

The Mag is the extra mag. It is marked P in fancy script. I also have an unmarked blue mag with a black plastic base.
