Big Time Russian Price...

First of all, I wouldn't touch a 1904 Navy for any price. I agree, Just too many are not real pistols and I don't know the good from the bad. As for 1906 Russians, I also agree, they are mostly restored. On the other hand, I have never heard of a Phoney 1906 Russian, have you? If any of you guys know of a phoney please tell me about it. I own a restored 1906 Russian. but I personally had it restored because it was a "dog" when I purchased it, as most were. The pistol came back from WW-11 with a Seattle Doctor. The gun was in his estate when he passed away and I was lucky enough to buy it. I can tell for sure, they were not "out to lunch" on the value. I spent another $2000 to have it professionally restored. Anyway you want to look at it, the gun is extremely rare and I like it. Personally, I don't have a problem with any very rare restored Luger, As long as the pistol is represented as such. Think about it, a restored rare piece is better than none. Personally, I do like Mauser WW-11 Navy Lugers much better. Good collecting.
