well, heres a story; was home on leave and went to a yard sale and they had a bunch (maybe 10-15) Japanese plates, pre-war and post war. They wanted a $1.00 a plate, I offered 50 cents each and he acted offended and said no. I left kinda in a huff (to myself). Later thinking about it, it was silly; they were worth $5 each at that time; I shouldn't have been so cheap.

My point is; for even $950, a nice police luger with a decent holster, take down tool and 2 mags, I would be selling for $1200-$1300 and getting it....
