luger barrel "top half"
I'm not at all familiar with Lugers so please bear with me. I recently purchased a small collection of various items and as I try to decide which ones I'll keep and which ones I'll sell I keep finding more items I didn't realize I got at the time of purchase!! Not a bad problem. My question is, what is the value of an almost mint if not mint "top half" and barrel (6") Luger? The underside of the barrel is marked serial # 3535. all other marked parts are marked 35. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Ed, if you want to sell any parts you have to be familiar enough with them to describe them in detail, & you need to be able to post high quality digital photos. You need to describe the markings on TOP of your gun part, & you also need to give the caliber. You may be able to find useful information on the Gunpartscorp website, or, better yet, buy their catalog.
Several years ago I was attempting to restore an abused Luger with a bad "top half", & I would have paid $200 for one in 9mm. I believe that you would get more than that for one in 9mm today, not as much if it is .30. In any case, they are only useful for parts, as they will not match the number of the "lower half".
For unusual things like this, however, the only way to determine the value for sure is to post it at auction & see what someone is willing to pay.

The 6" barrel could have been from a Navy Model Luger. If so, the rear sight would have been adjustable for elevation. The Navy Luger parts would be much more valuable than the Army (4" bbl). 0
