First Luger

Bob Kovacs · 07-04-2001, 08:22 PM

Hi Guys

Back in march I finally purchased my first Luger.

I hope I did not pay too much for it. It's a 1916

Erfurt Luger in 9mm with no pitting or import marks

at all. The grips i believe are original to the gun.

The parts are all matching except for the Side Plate.

I paid $675.00 for it at a gun store. Can anyone tell

me if I paid too much?

Thanks....Bob

Mismatched import guns typically sell in the $500 - $700 price range, non-imports such as yours are typically higher. Without knowing the condition of the finish (other than no pitting), and given that the gun is mechanically sound, I'd say you paid a fair price.

on the value of your Luger. Some variations of magazines are worth a lot of money...
