PE, Welcome to the Lugerforum...

Since the gun has had parts replaced evidenced by the 83 being crossed out and the number 21 being added to the toggle, it is not really a collector gun, but as a shooter, it is definitely worth about or at least $600 in the current market...

BUT,

You have made no mention of an adjustable rear sight (100 & 200 meters)...or a 6 inch barrel rather than a 4 inch, which should be present on a NAVY Luger... if it doesn't have these features, then it isn't a Navy model...

Can you post photos of the gun? This would help in giving you advise on the value. Please check the Technical Information pages of our website and print out the Identification sheets to know what information we need to make a reasonable appraisal.

thx, i figured it wasnt all original even though the seller says it is. the rear sight was non adjustable on the back part of the toggle.it has a six inch barrel. i forgot to mention the wood on the bottom of the mag and on the front of the frame between the grips is some letters to worn or faint to read. thx again.

Preokc,
its not a navy Luger. It is a shooter and you will be paying about what its worth. But you can still have fun shooting it. I have trouble with a seller saying that this gun is all original. Maybe original for a Luger over here and a Luger over there and three or four Lugers someplace else.
