Value on 1920 Navy Commercial?

Aaron · 04-23-2003, 04:44 PM

A Luger has come up for sale which appears to be a 1920 Navy Commercial Luger in 9mm. It has no grip safety, so I assume it to have started out as a 1914 Navy. Serial number is 3121b. with all numbers matching on the frame, barrel, safety, and rear toggle. I did not dissassemble the pistol, so I cannot vouch for the internal serials. The sideplate is blank, as is the chamber and the toggle, so there is no indication of the manufacturer. The frame bears the barrel is crown proofed, and the left side of the frame is proofed crown, crown/M, crown/M. The barrel has a crown proof, but no proofs anywhere else.Finish is about 90% with a lot of touch up blue here and there. Bore is poor, magazine is numbered WWI wood bottom type, non-matching with a crack through the wood bottom. Asking price is $985. Is this out of line?
