Jim,

There's no set price to confirm or deny. If you go to a gun show , on-line auction or hit gun shops, you will find a variation of pricing on any given firearm as much as $200, or more in some instances. $1600 should be considered an average. So, $1650 ain't bad.

You didn't over pay or under pay. You got it at a decent / fair price, that's all that matters. If you would have paid $2000 for it that's a different matter. If you paid $1000 for it, you would have stolen it.

The fun of gun trading and collecting is the chase, the cornering and the negotiation.

My grandad was a rancher and horse trader. He used to say, "If you shake hands, and both leave with a smile, it was a good trade."

Great Luger! Ya done good...and you'll always remember the first one.
