The 1918 P08 is not as sought after as the WW2 PO8, and will only fetch $600-$800 even in good condition.
the luger is a German design, not french. luger value depends on overall condition.......
value depends on overall condition............174 is probably the serial #. that would mean the pistol was made in early 1918. On top of luger in middle of toggle would be the makers logo...................
$5500 in excellent condition
It is impossible to value a Luger with just a serial number.

luger production ceased about 1942. the P38 took over as the German military pistol during WW2..................any luger made after WW2 were after market pistols.

The value depends on overall condition. If you have a P38, then you don't have a luger. They both fire the 9mm luger cartridge though.
The same value as any other luger of similar model and condition. And I have to ask- you know this how?

The odds are that a 1918 Luger would be in 9x19mm Parabellum. However, there exists an extremely slight possibility of you encountering a former Swiss military pistol chambered in the 7.65x21 (also known as 7.65 Luger, 7.65 Parabellum, and .30 Luger). While the German military replaced the 7.62x21 cartridge in 1908 with the 9x19 cartridge, it remained the standard calibre for Swiss military pistols until the 1940s.
