I do plan to sell the Luger, as well as, a CYQ Spreewerke P-38. Any ideas as to value would be appreciated. Even though the Erfurt's were 'rough', this one is very original and has been very well taken care of. The gun is very low numbered as the earliest known serial number for the 1918 Erfurt is 304 and this is serial # 450. I will try and keep a record on the front page of maker, year and serial number for reference 1.
