Here goes my WAG.

Belt's worth $400
Holster $4000
Pistol $3500-$4000
Pouch $500

Total $8900

I think it will go at auction for $12000 to $14000

Like Ron, I don't think the pouch has anything to do with the AE rig. Isn't there some documentation of how many magazines were issued with each pistol?

Jeez George...that is almost exactly how I came up with my guess! Didn't think the belt and pouch were worth that much, that's mostly why my number is lower than yours.

10800

I agree with Ron's statement 'It would seem odd for Rock Island to make tan holsters and then make a black magazine pouch' and, therefore, I feel that this magazine pouch is only a complimentary item for the set which was found separately. If we were to assume that such an item was offered with the tan holsters, the next questions are whether such a magazine pouch would have been marked or not, and how come additional ones have not yet been found/reported with standard features in the same manner as the US holsters?

In regards to George's estimates of the various items in the set, I would have thought that the pistol would be worth more considering that the consition is respectible and the price of the holster less, probably around $3k.

Pete, I would like to own such a magazine pouch with the three mint commercial magazines for my Luger Carbine set. In the early 1990's I was offered a leather A&F magazine pouch for about $350 which I passed on - I screwed up on that decision. I tried to track it down later, but it is probably buried in someone's collection.

For what my .02 is worth, I'll play the bid at $17,370.00. It's a really kool combination. Maybe if I were to hit the lottery, (boy would I become popular). Keep smling.....Bob

So what did it sell for????????

Russ

I went to their website to see if I could find out how much it went for. No luck. I did find the description for it though. Here is the link for it.

Looks like John Sabato is the closest from what I can see! What's your hat size John? Jerry Burney

One Size Fits All is what it says on the hat I usually wear... :D

I only missed it by $9726.72. Someone has deep pockets.

And I thought I was going "high" in my estimate...

Ed

Somebody give me an official read on the auction so I can reward the winner.

George, I did, I asked the auction for official results.

See above,

Ed

That's a lot of frog skins <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

Frog skins may be valuable in OrEgOn, but they are cheap in Colorado :D

Ed

John, looks like I have to cut my own grass. Please email yout address and I'll send you something that will lend an aura of class to your appearance.

George, please come out to Colorado and cut my grass, my wife is getting tired of doing that while I sit in the shade and drink "lemonade". :D

Ed

Ed
I hope you at least offer her a glass when she is done.

Russ

Ya know how Tina cuts the grass? She walks over and opens the gate for the horses. :mad:

A man of his word... My DWM logo hat arrived by Priority Mail in today's business mail...

Vielen Dank Herr Anderson...George I will wear it with pride... :)

Just like the Lugerforum Patches...You'all (that's Virginian for "everybody') ought to get one before they are gone! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
