Thinking about picking up this luger, what is it worth?

blackonblack · 03-24-2010, 02:56 PM

A co-worker hooked me up with his friend who is selling this luger. I have yet to see the gun in person but have a few photos of the pistol. Oddly the owner can't find a brand mark or stamp on it. He claims his brother bought it in Arizona many years ago and that is a a mis-matched 1916 luger that has been re-blued. That knowledge along with the photos is all I have as a reference as of yet. Can you guys shed a little light on what little info I can furnish until I see it in person. I find it strange it has no stamp on the receiver to say what brand it is.

Welcome to the Lugerforum.

"Sanitized" toggle, heavy handed refinish, reproduction grips, aftermarket magazine... not a quality gun. If it shoots it might be worth $500 to someone, but I wouldn't pay that for it... I would say look elsewhere unless you get it for a really good price.
