Hi Nick, in Britain it will cost you ten years Sorry for the joke, as over here they are illegal..
We would need to know several things first before we could give you an estimate as to value? Are all the serial numbers matching? Is the finish (the blueing) original and not redone? What is the overall condition, i.e. not rust or pitting. How worn is the barrel? Etc.
Cheers, Ade.

Nick, note the markings on the toggle as well as the top of the chamber. You should also pay attention to the numbers stamped into the parts. The markings on the chamber and toggle will tell you who made the pistol and when they did it.
On most military lugers one would expect to find a four digit serial number on the base of the barrel, the frame beneath the barrel and on the left side of the barrel extension. The last two digits of the serial number will appear on many of the parts.
Also note any stampings on either the front or rear grip strap. The grip strap is normally where unit markings were placed. These can help in setting down a bit of the pistol's history.

Living in a country with very strict gun control (its even difficult to own deactivated firearms), we do not ever get an opportunity to buy a live Luger. That said, if an opportunity presented itself to acquire one, albeit illegally, the temptation to buy would be great, not to fire it, but to have in my possession something that hadn't been butchered. Well, we may as well dream here . . .
