Neighbor’s 1914 Erfurt

It's a very nice-looking pistol that shows very little evidence of use, if I were in your place I'd have already tried to buy it.

I just returned the pistol to my neighbor. I again expressed interest without success. He told me that it is going to his son. He also told me he refused $2,000 cash in 1970. He was told that his brother's Luger with a" long barrel and the snail magazine" is worth over $100k "according to a knowledgeable friend". Enough said. Thanks for all the help. Steve

$ 2K cash in 1970 for an Erfurt?

I don't know much about prices in your country but perhaps your neighbour went wrong with the figure...
Anyway, sorry to hear that you didn't have much success with your neighbour.
Erfurt lugers are not that scarce, I'm sure that with a bit of luck you'll find another, and let your neighbour "dream" on his "expensive Luger"...
