Luger .380

[Norb]

I just got a line on a mint Luger .380, in black. It looks like it has been fired 20 times. Can you guys give me an idea of what it is worth?
I need to give the guy an answer by sundown, as he has others looking at it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If indeed it is a Luger 380 then a millon dollars would not be too much. Only Three were made and the where abouts of one is known ( France). I think you are refering to the Erma KGB-68 ( also Beeman ). These have a nice following and the listed price for one in excellent condition is over 500 dollars.

Thanks for the reply Ron. My buddy says it was made in '68 and that they were only made for 1 year.
What markings should I look for, I am going to look at it when I'm done on here.

The Standard Catalog of Firearms states that the Erma KGB series were made from 1964 until 1986 After 1968 a magazine safety was added. Best I can do. They are neat looking guns but parts are scarce.
