He said he remembered seeing a wiskey barrel full of them at one place and a sign saying "Your pick, $25." And this was back in the 1970's when everyone was crying about how the price for an average Luger had then "skyrocketed" to $300 or $400 a piece. My, my. How times have changed. The 1939, code 42, I bought a few weeks ago costs me $1600.
Back in the middle or late "60's" I remember a recurring add that appeared on the back page of one of the gun magazines for German Luger's and C96 Broomhandles, the prices listed were, I believe, $25.00, $29.00 and $35.00. I don't know how that compares with todays prices adjusted for inflation but I'm sure it's a long way from current prices.
