Jerry,
In deed I did, once the seller and I realized its real value - which hit us during the renegotiating process.
Although interesting and in excellent condition, I have other hobbies that I need to spend that kind of money on. Two motorcycles and (soon) a new sail yacht take up a lot of my money as well as spare time.
But I am quite happy with having the pistol only. I have been wanting an LP ever since one of my father's war-time friends showed me and let me fire his when I was around 11-12 years old. In the UK in 1942, he was issued a DWM 1917 LP by the
SOE before he was sent on clandestine operations in German-occupied Norway. I've been trying to buy that particular pistol from the late agent's son, but he wants to keep it - no surprise.
