Value of antique Luger...

[GripItAndRipIt]

MODS: Please move if this is the wrong forum... I didn't want to post this in 'classified' because I'm not necessarily selling it. I am just interested in valuating this old Luger I have in my possession -- I believe it to be a Mauser -- and I've not really found any definitive source so I figured somebody here might be able to at least point me in the right direction. DISCLAIMER: I don't know anything about antique guns, so feel free to explain it to me like I'm an 8-yr-old. Thanks in advance!

without local experts chiming in i'd start with https://www.lugerforum.com/ more than you ever wanted to know on that site
and there are a gazillion variants on this machine...
lots of high quality close up pics are an absolute going forward in your quest

Pics would be helpful. With markings and such.

Rarity and condition are everything. If you share some pics and markings we can probably get close unless it's an ultra rare pistol in very good condition. Mauser made a ton of Lugers so it's not going to be a million dollar gun! Also consider any accessories you have with it. Matching numbers and a complete rig add value, sometimes quite a bit.

As with anything, it is worth EXACTLY what someone is willing to pay for it.

^ This. Lugers can go for a pretty penny. But the value can vary dramatically. Good, clear pictures, particularly of the markings would help narrow it down.

Considering not a single picture and basic description...^^^^...IS the answer!

Condition and rarity can help in value but Desirability is what truly affects value .
Like in automobiles , guns etc. I could have a mint xxxx in rare xxxx color but if there is no Desire for it , value decreases .
