Worth a Look

Fred, if one were fortunate enough to acquire this presentation piece, then its sale would probably occur as an estate sale on a known auction site, such as Julia or Rock Island. Whether such a piece is worth $50,000 is very much up for speculation as it is no doubt one of a kind. It would be nice if "MM" was a well known historical figure, making its provenence impeccable and perhaps worthy of a high valuation. With other forms of investment now very much in question, "hard asset" valuables, such as gold coins, antique Colt firearms, rare antique clocks or furniture and, yes, rare desirable Luger pistols, will hold their value, and most probably increase in value ahead of inflation, even in these troubled times. Witness the recent sale of the famous "Sears Single Action Colt Revolver" on the Julia auction for almost $800,000!
