In my experience many if not most Lugers offered for sale are overpriced so this one is "normal" in that respect, with the caveat that good photos are always needed in a discussion of value. And, many Lugers are offered with stories but unless impecably documented such tales should be considered sales talk.

Yep. Buy the gun, not the story.

What makes a bring back so valuable is often who brought it and why.
Not really. Just an FXO mag with an extra unidentifiable mag, a holster with no tool and the gun itself
