again , another case / box. this one for my 1920 commercial navy.
this one I used "velvet on the bottom section. hand painted the logos on to the satin. firearm with a mag & with 2 extra mags. also a take down tool & cleaning rod.
I figured out the date by the serial number. a hair away from being mint. thank you for looking. jeff

You're hand painting is very nice! Thanks for taking the time to show us, Ian.

Nice Jeff

That is very nice work, well done!

Can I ask, in general what do you look for in a collectible Luger? I know all matching numbers and condition but what else? What year is most collectible and what sort of price range for good stuff, (deactivated)?

Manxman. 1ST , I hate hearing the word deactivated.... but I do understand.
it's a personal taste I guess.
I own a 4 inch = 1918, 6 inch (navy)1920 commercial , & a 8 inch (art.) 1916 dated. I never sought these out, they all came to me at different times.

some don't want third reich at all , others that's all they want.
Can not comment on deactive prices myself .
most seem over priced in general, plus some sellers do not account for all original parts, or do not account for the overall original condition.
just a luger , price it high. jeff
