I think that I'm seeing non-matching numbers and reblued finish. If it cleans up well you may get $800, which seems like top dollar for that gun. $700 seems more reasonable, but there seems to be a strong market for Shooter grade Lugers.
Holster, other magazines, etc?

Gun is in solid condition,can fire and barrel is in ok condition too. It's just dirty. No extra magazine or other things. The nuber on handrail is serial no. from factory,destroyed couse gun was a gift to some officier before WW2. Was in service in 1992 in Bosina war and works great. Not grinding becouse it's rarity.

Also number "SP.Bn.715",correct me if I'm wrong, is 715th gun wich leave factory. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I think that is 700$ to little price for LUGER.

What country / geography are you going to be selling your Luger within?

In the USA, the mixing of parts from different Lugers, and refinishing it (small parts are a golden color "strawed" not blued on a 1916 DWM) eliminates collector interest.

The price of $700 is what this would bring in the USA for a properly functioning Luger with a mix of parts or refinished.

The "SP.Bn.715" is a unit mark. This would have been the 715th firearm assigned to this unit.

What country / geography are you selling in could make one heck of a difference.

According to Don Maus book History Writ in Steel the Sp.Bn.175 indicates the P08 or at least the frame was in use at one time by the Protection Police in Bremen and then the mark was cancelled.
