Fair market value of P-08 Luger

Moonlitin · 10-03-2011, 12:36 PM

Hello. I'm new to P-08 Lugers and need some help establishing the fair market value of the piece I looked at today. The seller isn't sure of it's value either.

It's a 1939 marked P-08. All of the numbers match except on the toggle, which is also marked Mauser.

It has a sear safety. The bluing is nearly perfect, so nice that I expect it was re-blued, but the bore is also very nice.

The serial number on the magazine also matches.

It looks just like the P-08 Luger in this post:

I don't want to steal it from him, nor do I want to pay more than it's worth, so I'm trying to extablish it's fair market value.

Thanks for any advice.

Mismatched and probably re-finished, between $500 and $700. Ballpark.

I'd say David has it figured pretty darn close... if not refinished, a little better, but still just the value of the sum of it's parts... pictures would help alot in the evaluation.. best to all, til...lat'r...GT

Be sure to check the headspacing before firing since toggle mismatches receiver

Large different font X markings may indicate a vopo history

Good luck
