Dave! You must be in the Christmas spirit and feeling generous! The grips being carved kick this pistol in the head. They should be numbered to the pistol. Now, the grips are a major missing numbered piece. Cause I don't see how they can be fixed? 75% finish..we are approaching shooter status on this otherwise collectable Mauser. The grips are truly sad..I have been offered a dozen Luger's here in AZ in the last month. All of them with a major problem, some a lot of problems. Trouble is..getting top dollar for a problem shooter is $7-900. Luger's with no problems start at about $1-1200 and go up pretty quickly. A lot depends on how you sell the pistol. I guess I could see you achieving $1,000 from a board member wanting an all matching shooter. Maybe. Any higher IMO is going to be like my first girlfriend, hard to get. Do you have a local auction house? I have seen prices skyrocket here at a local auction. People, for some reason go crazy bidding on guns at small auctions. Especially Luger's. It's a noble cause..Good Luck!
