Advice on Luger purchase requested

kidvett · 09-11-2002, 03:06 PM

Usually I dont get in discussions where strong opinions are debated but this time I'm in. I consider myself kind of new to Luger collecting ( a couple of years ). I'm no expert and I have the philosophy that there is something to learn in life everyday....

In collecting firearms over the years I came to the conclusion that sometimes we do good deals and sometimes bad ones. The newbie that has an opportunity on a pistol at a low price should get encouragement and advised about the important things to look for on the pistol from the experts ( long time collectors with a lot of knowledge ).

Last week, I asked opinions about a possible refinish on a 1940 Mauser ( see Machining Marks post ) The general opinion was that it had been refinished....so I sold it at a Gunshow last Sunday...I collect Original pistols and already have my shooters....

I sold that P-08 ( see PIC ) for $625.00 CDN ( make the conversion in USD...) Both parties happy!

Comments & Flaming welcomed on my sale!
