Luger DWM 1918 .30

Need some help on this one from a small estate. Did some research but so many differences and I can't find a sample that has the same "made in germany" stamps. Anyhow it looks to be in very good shape and all the exposed numbers match except for the mag - I have not field stripped but will if that matters much. What should I be posting this for?

Does not work for me either. Link takes me to a page where I can sign up for Amazon Photos.
Ok, the link worked for me this time.
This would seem to fit into a beginning accumulator of foreign weapons collection. JMHO
I assume you will be listing this for auction on G/B , I would start it at a penny with a reserve, and let it find its own worth .
The .30 cal bullet shown may indicate that the gun has the original barrel, but you need to measure the bore. .30 cal is basicly a necked down 9mm, which would be most folks' choice for a Luger that's to be used strictly as a "shooter". .30 cal is expensive, if you can find it, & is a pain to reload. So, not much demand for a heavily refinished Luger in an unpopular caliber.

Stoeger was still selling the type in 1939, along with guns re-rebarrelled back to 9mm and new production .30 and 9mm.
Like all Lugers, they have gone up in value over the years. They are so common, not much collectors interest from Luger collectors. Best bet would be sale to a person, who just wants a Luger for their hoard.
