Any Luger that is in good mechanical condition and works well is worth $375 without regard to provenance.

The longer bullet in the Wally World Winchester special does help. The magazine is sensitive to the cartridge OAL. For some unknown reason the SAAMI maximum OAL is DWM's original minimum length. This is a large part of the Luger's reputation for poor reliability. Just because it says Luger on the end flap doesn't prove the ammo is Luger ammo!
