look on top of pistol, just behind ejection port and you will see date it was made
The Luger P08 was a standard sidearm of the German Military in both World Wars.
Try asking at Jan C. Still's luger forum.
Between $100 and $10,000, depending on model and condition. There are MANY different Lugers.
German Luger pistols before 1902 used a proprietary 7.65mm bottleneck cartridge, sometimes referred to as .30 Luger in US. After 1902 Lugers used the 9mm round, also commonly known as 9mm Para (Parabellum) and 9mm Luger.
Have bever seen one that was original.
because your luger has been nickel plated the value has been depleted. however, it is still a 'shooter' and as such has some value, perhaps $500 or so......

It is impossible to value a Luger with just a serial number.
if you look down on the luger top you will see a date. that is when it was made.....
value depends on overall condition
not military produced lugers. however, some people elected to nickel plate their luger causing the value to go down as much as 30%............
You probably have what is commonly refered to as a "re-nickel" pistol. This means that the nickel is not the original finish. Also, the grips as described are not original either. What you have is a "shooter" not a "collector" pistol. This being said, and without actually seing it, it is probably worth $200-$250 depending on condition.
on top of the luger, where the barrel goes into the receiver ther is (usuaally) a date. On the left side of the frame, just down from the date is the serial number. Usually not more then 4 numbers
Amazing as it may seem, the holster for the German Luger can be worth as much as $300.

Sad to say you pistol value has been reduced because it has been nickeled. However, it can be cconsidered a 'shooter' if bore is really good............... What prices have you received?
