How much value will bring back papers add to a mauser s42 g date luger with matching mag and parts with original holster and take down tool? Just cant seem to find out that much info at all when it comes to the value of the bbpapers. Thanks all

I believe they only add value to a collector of authentic 'bring back' firearms.

Up to 25% if it was liberated at a particular Battle - This Luger was taken from a German officer at the battle of the Bulge. It gives it Historic significance.

Most of the time the papers were thrown away. Thus for a collector they are special. I would say a 25% premium over a similar gun without papers is reasonable. That's retail of course, probably 5 or 10 percent if sold to a dealer.
