Shooter value

[Joe in Colorado]

I was thinking of posting this anyway, and now it fits great with this thread on shooters.

Here is a shooter now on GB, clearly disclosed by the seller, currently at $555.

I think it looks cool-a model 1900 Black Widow!

Seriously though-in general-do really old Lugers like this need a good spring/etc check before shooting?

Another example-I have an "06/24" Bern, a recent import that seems reworked for post-service Swiss target practice-the firing pin mismatched, the sear bar is white, the trigger is great but scary light, the recoil spring seems light offhand. OK to try it?

Best Wishes, Joe
