We publish a FAQ document with detailed information about the markings and history of Lugers. Just follow the FAQ link at the top of every page to find the post with the PDF. It's useful reference information.

Completed Online auction sales are a good way to determine current value, but Lugers have a huge number of variations and must be evaluated for quality and originality.

The most detailed analysis is likely done on Lugers, consequently with the greatest variability.

Minor issues, like replacement of parts, can considerably drop the Luger's value to collectors. Some parts on your Luger have markings that may indicate they were replaced, affecting it's value to collectors. (Side plate). Internal parts may also have been replaced, and need to be inspected.
