When dealing with collectables an item is worth only what someone is willing to pay. However, here are a few things to consider when trying to get a value off your friends Luger.

- Don't assume because a dealer has one listed for 2K that ALL Lugers are worth 2K. Likewise don't assume that if one is for sale for $500.00 your is only worth $500.00. There are a lot of things that effect value price:

- Condition (should be original, not refinished)

- Matching parts (All serial numbers should match) (mismatched parts will
effect value)

- Certain serial number ranges are more desireable than others

- Certain years of manufacture are more desireable

- Certain makers are more desireable because some makers are rarer than others.

- Is the pistol on a permit

I hope this helps and do your research !
