I am currently in the process of divesting my WWII German collection. In my collection I have a Luger 1937 S/42. The Lugar has all matching numbers except the magazines. The holster is in great condition with visible stamp marks. The take-down tool is also matched to the weapon.
This Lugar is from a captured soldier. I have the original US Army Certificate authorizing the soldier took keep the weapon and Certificate of Retention and Customs Declaration to bring it back to the US. Dated August/September 1945.
Now the bad news according to some...the GI chromed the weapon when he returned home. Now I know that this takes it from a collector to a shooter quality, however, I hope the original paperwork showing it was captured and authorized to keep as a war trophy would add value back as a historic relic.
With all that said...what do you think I may be able to sell the Lugar package for...I hear all the time the price range for a chromed weapon is between $500 - 700...what about all in with papers and holster?
Thanks...
PM me if you are looking for any other WWII German articles I may have...
