NUMBERS AND VALUE

Ralph, we need more information to help.

I have a 1940 42 that I bought for around $825 and they are worth up to $1100 or so, but if it has been changed (there are many internal numbered parts), or re-blued, or possibly damaged, then it is worth $400 - $550??

Can you tell us any markings on the gun?

Proofs? (see on your left under tech information if you came through www.lugerforum.com) Tell us what and where proofs and markings are located.

There are forms in this section, where you can print out and then write down pertinent information.

What serial number is on the gun? To include any letters next to or under the serial number?

What year or letters are stamped on the top of the receiver?

What initials or letters are on the toggle?

Can you provide pictures, to include side, top, etc?
