Real value of an Artillery rig

Begood · 01-02-2012, 03:42 PM

I would like to find out what the real value (not a give it away price, and not a head in the clouds price) of my 1916 Artillery Luger. It is all numbers matching, with number matching magazine, and number matching stock/holster. I also have a nice Trommel to go with it.

Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

Hi Bill,

I think that your Artillery rig is one of the finest I've ever seen.

Values and prices are, of course, what two people eventually agree on in a transaction.

If you're interested in finding a value for insuring the rig, consider the retail value of a rig at simpsonltd.com or another site that does a large business in Lugers.

Assuming everything is righteous in your rig (all matching, all original finish in high condition 97-99%) your rig would be priced at the higher end of the values on those sites.

If you're considering selling it to a collector, the value would be less. This is because auction houses and retail dealers have to make a profit to cover their overheads. There is about a 30% markup over what you'd receive from an auction sale. Probably a similar markup to retail.

I can't give you a value off hand. Others on the site may be able to.

This is probably the best artillery that I've seen. Why sell it now? The market is not good for seller these days.

I tuned the light a little bit, it looks beautiful.
