On a more important note, this exchange about the value of accessories is interesting to me. I've attended a few gun shows (CA, AZ, ID, NV, and MT) over the years and it's been my observation that purveyors try to make the 'buyer' think these items are scarce as hens' teeth. Not being a collector of any note, I have to rely on sifting through the chaff to get to the grain.
I've contacted the owner of this Luger and we're meeting this afternoon to discuss 'details' of the potential exchange. Right now I'm thinking that making the deal contingent upon clarifying a few unknowns via this forum is what I'll do. One thing in my favor is that I have bulletproof (another non-pun) provenance on the item I'm trading, dating back to its origin, subsequent owners, and value, so I think I'm in a good position to ask for the contingency.
Thanks for the help on all this. I hope someday soon I'll be able to make a worthwhile contribution to forum discussions.
