Unless it's rusted solid, or plated in nasty nickel, it's almost certainly worth $1200.
Original finish, all matching, decent condition likely twice that.

Not being judgmental or woke, but I personally wouldn’t want anything with Nazi markings.
It never interested me even when it was all the rage at the gun shows during the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s.

Speed Triple 995 was my 1st and only!Ironic that y'all mentioned the Yamaha 750 that was the only motorcycle I ever happened to own. Wow, brings back memories.
Yeah, if it looks nice, bring twelve $100 bills with you and lay them out on the table while you're talking. Straight-up cash money is hard to resist.
That is what I'm seeing on this handgun.The only Nazi symbol on a Luger or most other WWII German weapons is the tiny little waffenamt acceptance stamp here and there. Not like the huge American Eagle on a 1900 test trials Luger or the big Swiss Cross on one of theirs.
Priced at $1200/$1500, what does that mean?
Simpson Ltd is rather high on pricing, but still that is about half retail for an all matching Luger.
Millions of Lugers were manufactured
Depends on the stamp. Some Waffenamts have a tiny swastika at the base of the eagle's claws, some don't. Many times its so small, you can't really see it without magnification.The only real rocket triple would be a BSA.
The only WWII German army marks I’ve seen on Lugers have been something that looks like the wings of a WWI triplane, never a swastika.
The BSA Rocket 3 is a 750cc, triple cylinder, four stroke, street motorcycle manufactured by BSA. It is also called the A75 following BSA's A series of designations. Max torque was 44.99 ft/lbs (61.0 Nm) @ 6900 RPM. Claimed horsepower was 56.73 HP (42.3 KW) @ 7500 RPM.The only real rocket triple would be a BSA.

Definitely Bill Ruger replicated two Nambu pistols before designing the Ruger Standard Model of 1949. Looking at and hefting a Ruger, a Nambu and a Luger side by side, the Ruger replicates the grip & feel and the thumb safety placement of the Luger and uilizes the reciporcating bolt inside a receiver design of the Nambu (also used by the Lahti L-35 and the Mauser C96). Ruger differs from the Luger and Nambu in using a frame stamped as two sides welded together hooked into a tubular receiver.Well, Bill Ruger did supposedly draw inspiration for his MK II from the Luger (and Japanese Nambu) designs, so...
Mine maxed out at 112, but would get there real quick. It was a bad motor scooter.Kawasaki Mach III 500CC claimed a top speed of 118 mph with 12.2-second quarter-mile times, which was astonishing performance at the time.
With a claimed 60 horsepower, weighing in at 383 pounds dry and a five-speed
I perfer an American Eagle Luger … Look at that seal!!! Tattoo it on my foreheadI've finally overcome my refusal to accept anything that has NaZi markings on it.
I'm buying a High Power with a Waffenamt acceptance stamp.
Nevertheless, I'm still looking for a non - NaZi - marked Luger in 9mm P to pick up in the near future.
There are a lot of them out there and the prices are pretty similar... .
