Hi All,

I will be taking the Luger for a test shoot Monday and if all is in order, will likely pick it up. I really hope he's right on the money with both matching mags. That will be awesome, even if it is a parts gun.

Mark

Hi Mark,

It's an East German rework, that is a different level than a 'parts gun'.

If the magazines are also East German. They should be marked with 2/1001 on the spine and marked 1 and 2 on the bottom, with the serial number.

Good luck.

Vlim,

Thanks much. I'll take all of that into consideration. What did you mean by a different level? Does that mean it a better or worse gun than a "parts gun"?

So IF:

---mags are marked as you describe,
---pistol shoots accurately and functions,
---it turns out to be a VoPo based on the visual inspect,

Would $1100 or so be a reasonable price based on condition you see in pics? If not, what would your experience suggest I counteroffer that is fair?

I've read several places "buy the gun, not the story" and I agree, so i thought I would ask what a fair price would be. I don't want to miss an opportunity, but I also don't want to shell out more than is reasonable.

Thanks for everything!
Mark

Hi,

I would value a Vopo above a 'shooter grade parts gun' and 1100 would not be unreasonable to me.
