Default "Original Mauser" stamp on Toggle

I have come across a Luger with a 6"barrel and grip safety serial #11.00688*. From what I have been able to find out this is a US made Luger by Interarms. Can any one confirm and give me an idea what it should be retailing for? Currently the retailer is asking $3500CDN Appears to be relatively new with two mags and accessories, no box.

Thanks.

Welcome to the Lugerforum.

The gun is Mauser made in Germany during the 1970's for the American market... and even brand new in the box isn't worth $3500 CDN... more like $900 to $1400 USD, depending on condition of the gun and available accessories, and the model type.

It's quite a beautiful gun, especially if you want a nice looking Luger to use at the range.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to sound mean at all but I'm a bit of a "purist" in these things, as I would prefer a honest WWII Luger, or a gun "perspiring history".
IMHO

Interarms was the Importer for the post war Mauser Lugers. They are great Lugers and a "hoot" to own and shoot, but that price is WAY out of line.

Default Mauser

Checked the item today, and it was indeed a "Made in Germany" model Mauser new never been fired. While it IS expensive one has to remember that I am In Canada and we pay dearly for our toys, $3500 seems to be about the going price I am afraid and while I would love to take advantage of the lower prices for all Lugers south of the border, it is damn near impossible to get one across the border without a lot of hassle and paperwork . I have a 1918 DWM with about a 50% finish, no rust anywhere all the numbers match including the two original factor magazines that I will not shoot in fear something might break. I thought this might be a shooter, while the trigger pull sucks, it is accurate. Thanks for you input everyone.

I didn't realize that you lived in Canada. I have no idea what handgun prices are there compared to the USA. Here, a NIB, unfired post war Mauser with box, and all of the goodies is about 1/2 of what that fella wants for his. I purchased mine some time ago, and it was unfired, for less than 1/2 of that price.

I guess we just have to go with the flow, or move.
