My dad recently passed away and left a German Luger he brought back from WWII. The gun is all original, dated 1939, and has two clips with identical serial numbers as the gun. The holster is dated 1937. It's been stored the last 65 years and is in good shape. Do you know a price range for this?

  I have a german luger that I'm going to sell when I find out what it is really worth and any history to make it intriguing,any and all help is greatly appreciated.
  my uncle was a prisoner of war in germany,at the end of the war when he was released he brought back w/him this luger #8768,in leather case w/one clip.I also have the "War Captured" notification of the piece.There are probably a lot of markings and whatever one needs to know to identify it,so if some one would enlighten me I'd be glad to post what ever it takes.
  thanks,dave

  All military Parabellums are blue. Some presentations pieces were nickle, but they will be engraved with the occasion of presentation.
  
  Germans could carry any secondary pistol they wanted and some Ortgies did leave the factory nickled, however, being produced between the wars, the German governments (Weimar, Third Reich) never issued them.

  Ortgies pistols were available both blued and in factory nickel. The .380 caliber is the less common of the three calibers offered: .25, .32 and .380.
