BOUGHT MY FIRST CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IT IS

[RAKSAVA]

JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST LUGAR AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER COMMERCIAL OR MIL. I DO KNOW THAT IT IS A .30 LUGAR WITH THE NUMBERS 64 AND 664 ON THE SLIDE AND BARREL AND FRAME. IT HAS A WOOD CAP ON THE MAGAZINE, SOMETHING THAT MY 9MM DOES NOT HAVE IT IS MARKED L?C IN CURSIVE ON TOP OF SLIDE.
CAN YOU HELP ME FIND MONITARY WORTH AND WHAT YEAR AND MODEL IT IS CAUSE I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL RECOURCES I KNOW AND CAN NOT FIND IT'S ORIGIN.

THANKS,

If you can give us some more information?

On your left (at Lugerforum.com homepage)under technical information is a sheet called identification sheets, download this, print or write all the infromation then we can help much better.
ID Sheets

The Luger is a nice gun, and maybe if you can supply pictures, that helps very much.

Determining values of firearms is always difficult, even when examining a firearm in person.
Different variations bring different prices based on their rarity. The condition of the firearm is
extremely important, and unfortunately, very subjective. Many good books are available on firearm
values, such as â??The Blue Bookâ?�. They are updated annually, and are also helpful in identification of
the various model variations. As with any firearm, the true value is what you, personally, can get a
buyer to agree to pay. The following criteria will help in determining current market value of a
particular specimen:
1. Model Variation (Determined Above)
2. Percentage of remaining bluing (i.e. 80%, 95%, etc.)
3. Percentage of remaining straw colored finish on parts such as trigger, disassembly latch, etc.)
4. Condition of Bore.
5. Condition of Grips.
6. All matching serial numbers. Most small parts will carry last two digits of serial number.
7. Correct matching magazine(s) with matching serial numbers.
8. Any accessories such as holster, stock, loading/takedown tool, capture papers, etc.
Using these criteria, describe the condition of your Luger as objectively as possible:
MATCHING SERIAL ON MAG, NO OTHER ACCESSORIES, 80% ORIGIONAL BLUING, CLEAN BORE, GRIPS VIRTUALLY UNWORN, LITTLE STRAW FINISH ON DISASSEMBLY LATCH, TRIGGER STRAW COLOR WITH SOME SILVER SHOWING.
