Interesting leson about Aussie gun control - people around here has a completely different sight. Good to know! Actually, your laws are very similar to ours down here. Those bloody no-guns politicians are everywhere, aren't they?

Hello Doug , nice to hear from another fellow from the "southern Hemisphere" ! and on a similar line of lattitude !
You will be pleased to know that the results of the auction are in and I won the 181 lot -- a 1918 Erfurt, all matching including the Mag ! it only has about 15% of the original finish , but at least it is original, and Lugers with matching mags are unheard of out here. that was the main reason I bought it.
I had quite high bids in on the others but someone else was determined to take them home and out bid me by $100. on each.
Even more amazing , someone paid $3,600. for a snail drum mag !! hows that ! I thought about $1800. would be tops.
Doug , you will be even more pleased to know I also got a Mint Brazilian Mauser in 7x 57. about 1908 I think. Complete with matching numbered bayonet ! It is no. 26 on the auction site in the thread above.
Just have to wait for them to arrive now !
