Even my de-activated 1918 DWM and byf42, both all-matching, would push the buttons at around $2500+ each if I ever wanted to sell them - I am being asked quite regularly as well.

Thats a surprise tac , I am a frequent visitor to the UK on business and have seen a bevy of superb firearms at gunshows , Many you just don't see out here all deactivated and going for very reasonable prices . But I guess Lugers are special aren't they !

I have been to Oregon too , lots of fir trees [I think] relaxed gun laws and the constant drizzle of rain - not that you would notice that, after living in England !

I know what you mean about the cost of living in the UK , when ever I'm staying in a hotel in London , even a "cheap" one . I feel like I'm standing in the window throwing 20 dollar bills out !
