I picked this up some time ago and was wondering what it might be worth.
It has all matching number, except the magazine, and appears to have been parkarized (sp). let me know what you think.

perry shooter I was disappointed when I first saw it- given that it was parkizied. I really do not plan on shooting it but what do you think that it might be worth?
Guys I have posted pictures and when I pull up my post there they are. ??????
Trust us, your pictures aren't showing. You might consider using these instructions, they have helped others in the past to post pictures successfuly.
First thing you need is a site to host your picture. What I mean by that is that you will need to upload your pictures to a web site that will host(display) them for you. You should not use your hard drive to host pictures for safety sake. Use www.photobucket.com to host your pictures.
After you have uploaded your pictures to the site that will host them for you(per their directions), the next thing you will want to do is go to the picture hosting site and view the picture. While you are viewing the picture, right click on it and you'll see another window that should pop up, now click on "properties" and copy the picture URL. If you know how to "copy & paste" this will be a piece of cake.
Now that you have the picture URL and your ready to post your picture. Do the following, use the following code except take out the "*" asterisk. The "*" asterisk is used here only so you can see the code. In other words if I posted the code without the "*" asterisk you will see a picture instead of the code. Anyways use this code to post your picture..

You really can't "restore" a gun whose finish has been destroyed. You can "refinish" it, but the various types of polishing & stippling on a gun like a Luger really can't be duplicated. Sorry JesseLee, yours will always be a shooter.

Sad to me that a "shooter" is less than a "collector". The whole intent of a firearm is for it to be shot and and NOT sit on a wall or in a case somewheres. Buy china if you think that way, otherwise, why build a good firearm. It's like heroizing the REMF because his rifle is pristine and the GRUNT who did all the work brings back a dinged up 'piece of crap' looking worn out weapon. You tell me what is more valuable? I guess if you're looking for cash someone who knows the most may pay the most.
Anyhow, I think you have a fine looking Luger there and it should bring not less than $700.00 It's a great design if spendy to build. Very accurate and reliable,...what a weapon is all about.
-good luck
