The German Luger piston is a nice pistol with a good feel that makes it easy to point and shoot. It was a well-known weapon and had been the side arm for the German army since 1917. The American soldier wanted a to get a Luger as a souvenir. He could not use it in combat. The Army frowned upon using enemy weapons. Also, they could not obtain ammunition for the gun.My Father brought back a captured German Luger and the smaller Walther PP, which was used by many military police and high-ranking officers. The German Helmet and the Luger pistol and maybe the Iron Cross medal were the most popular souvenir items that the American soldier sought after.

value depends on overall condition. your mauser COULD be worth $900-$1200
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.....
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

You must seek the services of a qualified appraiser.
They were originally made in 7.65mm Luger (.30 Luger) but many were rebarreled to 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger). Have a gunsmith check it.
Most Lugers had the four digit serial number, and they were repeated on a monthly cycle... it's not uncommon for up to 400 Lugers to have the same serial number. An actual date of manufacture should be printed on the top of the receiver, in the area where the barrel connects to the receiver.
Way to many variables and a scant description. Go to Jan C. Still's Luger Forum and look around.
