Hello,

I inherited a .30 American Eagle Luger and am trying to place an approximate value on it. The serial is 34574 and as you can see from the pictures, there aren't many markings on it, it has some pitting and rust on the barrel and elsewhere, doesn't appear to have ever been refinished, grip safety, American Eagle chamber inscription, and DWM toggle inscription. I would appreciate any advice as to what model it is, year of manufacture and it's value. Thanks very much.

This retailer's site is a good place to see high-end retail pricing...but collectors like to trade among themselves for less...10%, 20% 30% less.

Value depends on condition, condition, condition...original finish, finish remaining, matching small parts, proper magazine, grips condition, bore condition, etc.
