Gun Show report
 

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Been extremely busy moving to a new house and getting stuff settled. So, this will be a quick post for me.


I got a wild-hair today and drove over 1 hour to a gunshow in north-Georgia today (Gainesville). Here's the report:


Saw ONE, yes, only ONE Luger at the show. Looked like a rework, wood-grips, in mid-poor condition $799! yikes. S/42 make.


Also, an Erma .22 luger in used shape for $325 !! arrghh


A few Broomhandle mausers at the $1100-1700 mark. Red 9, and some 7.62 originals that were nice. One had a BHM with original buttstock and holster rig for only $1200. Quite nice, but I'm by nomeans a BHM expert. So, I have no idea if it was authentic...? but looked nice nonetheless


Was on the Walther PPK, TPH 'prowl' today and came up emptyhanded.. If anyone has or knows of a Walther stainless steel TPH for sale, LEMME KNOW. I need one asap.


enjoy the rest of the weekend...

Wombat,


Thanks for the report. This is what I am seeing at the South Carolina and North Carolina show with Lugers. Not many there and WAY overpriced. Last year I went to show in Atlanta at the Metro Mart (I think that was the name) and there were a number of nice Lugers there, but the prices were way to high to even start talking to any of the dealers. I sold one of my "trading" Lugers which was all matching except the magazine, maybe 50% blue and had some cold bluing on it, very worn bore, and the holdopen was broken. I sold it to one dealer for $450 which was a decent price and I thought I did well. It probavbly went on the table for $600+.


Anyway, nice Lugers are difficult to find in our areas at gun shows.

Nice looking Lugers don't hang around at gun shows..
 

..so, if that is what you are really hunting, they rarely are found. I honestly think one does better using the internet for locating good looking Lugers. And, as always,

"Take me to your Luger!"

But I've seen some nice looking babes hanging around at gun shows .

Just got back from Portland Oregon, attended a Gun Shoe there saw one Luger and one P38 all over priced. Bought some fake bugs in a box for the Grandaughters. Did buy a P.38 from AIM that they accepted my offer on.

Hugh, now that you have mentioned it, I have seen more of the latter than the former recently (I thought it was just me going through some hormonal crisis or something)
