I have a very nice artillery luger 1917 that I want to sell as it is just a safe queen. I am looking for suggestions as to the best way to sell this nice piece. It is a shooter ( not original magazine ) not a collector item. Thanks for your thoughts and help.

You can post a for sale ad here. You must list an asking price in the ad. We discourage discussion in the ads, so it will stand on it's own.

Check with retail dealers for similar listings, and allow about a 30% retail markup from collector to collector prices.

Thanks, I'll get some photos done sometime in January.

Pictures and closeups are the best way! Blind dates always got me in trouble!

It sounds like you think it's a shooter because of the non-original magazine.

Just thought you would like to know - Just because it has the wrong mag or a non-matching mag does not make it a shooter. As long as all the numbers on the gun are matching & correct, and it has a good amount of original blue finish, it will be collectible to someone here.
