I do like the 1900 Lugers and was looking through the 'Simpson Ltd.' website and was surprised to find a 'Professionaly' restored 1900 AE, their #C8421, with a replaced bead type front sight selling for $4,500. Even being professionaly restored, as most think, would seriously drop a Luger's value no matter how well done and that $4,500 figure ( with a non stock front sight) is quite on the high side, correct? I considered my 1900 AE 'Test', professionaly restored by THOR, to have a value of only $,2,500 tops. Any thoughts?
