Luger value
I have a friend who has just aquired a German Luger. The pistol is in good shape with some holster wear. The pistol also came with the holster that to me is in good shape also. The pistol is marked 1939 with 42 on the toggle. The grooves in the barrel are good also. It has all the proof marks on it. Is there any way to get an approximate value with this info. Thanks.

Sam,
Lugers are a religion all their own. Your Friends pistol was made in 1939 by Mauserwerk.
So many factors come into play that you really need to have someone qualified actually examine it.
There are many nuances that, if you are not familiar with them, can escape a general gun person.
Other than the year the receiver and the maker, nothing else can be determined from the description.
Even though the serial numbers might look matching, a loupe would be used to determine if they are from the same era. Is the firing pin the same number? Each and every part must be examined for correctness.
Any old shooter is worth $450 or so... With all the recent East German imports, it really needs a hands on look.
