Hi,

The Erma KGP Series were manufactured to resemble the Luger Pistols. There are a few versions chambered for the 22 rimfire, 32 ACP and 380 ACP. They were produced from 1964 to 1986. The value for the 22 caliber gun are:

excellent-$300, very good-$200, good-$150, fair-$100. There are not any values given for a new in the box gun, but I would add 25% to the excellent value.

There is also a 22 caliber version of the Navy Luger with a 11.75" barrel. The value for a gun in excellent condition is $900.

I would use one of the auction sites to sell it and use a start price of $300 with a $375 reserve price. You control the complete auction including the amount charged for shipping and there is no one coming to your house to look at it. It is a much safer way to sell your gun.

I hope this helps you,

Tom
