1906 cross in shield marks

How much of an effect in value would an import company mark almost the full length of the underside of the bbl do to a pistol in vg shape with vg straw, blue, all numbers match, and proper magazine? Price was $1895, I'm hesitant due to import mark.

IMO - FWIW - that doesn't sound like such a bad price IF the bore is excellent. It may be slightly high but still reasonable. Hard core collectors don't care for the import marks but sometimes they are unavoidable.

If you go to the Simpson Ltd website and look for similar Swiss Lugers, you may find the $1895 is not a bad price. Do keep in mind that Simpson is generally high but a very reputable dealer.
