I picked up four guns this weekend and this is one I know very little about. I will try to get up pictures later, but for now I will describe it as best as I can.

The 1920 dated and double dated rework Lugers (DWM and Erfurt) are in the 'Lugers - DWM Commercial 1898-1929' Gallery. To the best of our. 29,857 produced, military numbered 50001 to 77941, commercial numbered P25001-P26600 and P77942-P78258. Many thousands produced, 1 to 5 digit serial with letter. Lee Precision Pro 1000 9MM Luger Reloading Kit 90640. Lee Cast Iron Pro 1000 Reloading Kit For 9MM Luger Md: 90640, Add a bullet and pull the lever; all other.

Marked Erfurt below 'crown' 90% + blueing grips excellent with no hoster wear bore excellent bright and shiny very low serial number 450 all numbers matching gun, including magazine holster is little rough with broken strap and someone lightly carved 'Breneman' on back of holster has extra magazine numbered 5417 and marked 'fxo' & 'PO8' I have read about 'Lugers' and Erfurt specifically, but I would like an idea as to value. The gun is very low numbered as the earliest known serial number for the 1918 Erfurt is 304 and this is serial # 450. Even though the Erfurt's were 'rough', this one is very original and has been very well taken care of. Any ideas as to value would be appreciated.

I do plan to sell the Luger, as well as, a CYQ Spreewerke P-38. Shipping Container Iso Corner Castings Dimensions more. I have no interest in these guns and need to help pay for the other two 'keepers' I bought. The CYQ is 95% and a very nice firearm as well. The person I bought these from has been retired a long time and is selling off some his better 'stuff'. Thanks for your help in advance. It looks like a very nice original Erfurt with not being reblued or anything.

The matching mag is a certain plus as well as the holster.The other fxo mag is for a prewar Mauser Luger & should not be with this rig. The holster does need work & there is a Gent on Jan Still's Luger site that can repair the strap & replace the pull strap for you. His user name is Thor I believe & does fantastic work. I think from the low sn# and condition it should fetch a 2-2500 dollar price tag to the right collector.Hope this info helps some?

Kindest Regards Danny. I can't be sure from the picture, but it looks like there is a suffix letter below the number on the grip frame, in which case the gun would not be an early production for the year, something that, IMHO, matters not at all and adds nothing to either the interest or the value.

The name on the holster could be the name of the German soldier to whom it was issued, or the name of the American soldier who brought it back. It would take some heavy research to even try to find out. In any case it is a nice Luger, and I strongly recommend having the holster repaired (and suitably marked). As usual, I defer to Danny on the value. 'fxo' magazines were made by Haenel of Suhl, both during and after WWII; many were sold commercially in the U.S., and are a common replacement magazine. In my limited experience, they are better for looks than for reliability. Thanks Danny, I really appreciate your comments.

I have no real interest in keeping the Luger and needed an approximate value so I can ask a fair price and expect it to sell. With this information, I am placing it on ********* with a starting price of $1,500.00 and I'll see if there is any interest at that price. Should I also list it for sale at this site?

I looked the 'For sale or Trade' Forum over and it did not look like it gets a lot activity? Is ther another site I might offer it for sale that is specific to 'Lugers'?? Thanks again. I found this site a short time ago when seeking information about a Belgium drilling and older friend of mine had.

I have found the people here to be most helpful and informative. Thank you again for the information on this Erfurt Luger. I have two main interest in firearms, shooting them and then shooting them some more. Sorry I just couldn't help myself. Actually my interests are in 1950-1980's Smith & Wesson and Colts revolvers, S&W model 27's and Colt Pythons specifically. I also have a keen interest in quality 22 rimfire handguns by both manufactuers, revolvers and automatics. I enjoy Colt Diamondbacks and 'Match Target', as well, S&W 17's and Model 41's.

Maybe I can offer some assistance in the future to someone that may have questions about these specific firearms. Thor doesn't do leather repairs. Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair@yahoo.com) is the expert to go to.

He will replace that leather strap and it will look absolutely original. The spare magazine is incorrect, as it is of WWII vintage. As Jim says, we need to know if there is a suffix letter below the serial number so we can figure out the date of manufacture.
