Question

I recieved a world war 2 german pistol from my grandpa and im trying to find out the value of it?

Answer 1

Go to a large local bookseller, and look for a copy of the "Big Book of Gun Values" or a similar publication. IT shouldn't take a minute to look up a particular gun. As long as you have some idea what it is.....

Any Idea what it is? A Luger? A P-38? A Mauser HSC? A Walther PPK? A Radom? A Browning HIgh Power? Many pistols were pressed into service by the German military during the war. Can you provide us with a digital image of it? That would help immensely.

Answer 2

A luger P08? Walther P38? What? It would help in appriasal. I hope your not thinking of selling it.

Keep it. You know how sought after those guns were by Allied troops in WWII? It was a trophy. If I ever was given one I wouldn't even think of selling it. I know someone who has one and he would never sell it and he's trying to sell off his entire collection and that includes an army model 1911 in stainless.

Answer 3

You need to know the make and model and yada about it in order to find out the value.  Keep it cleaned, oiled and in a safe place as the world is an uncertain place anymore; you may need it.

Answer 4

The value is somewhere between $5.00 and $1,000,000.

Answer 5

take to either a gun shop or gun show.
