David,
No I was not going to buy one. I saw one and the dealer was selling it for as much as a 1939 P.08 that was in collectible condition, all matching, a little wear but a very honest and I thought desirable piece. When I said that I thought he was way too high on the Luger, he said he would make me a good deal on the ERMA, which he had at the same price.
I declined.
What totally convinced me to pass on this guy, was that he was trying to get $700.00 for a 1916 P.08 holster that was in "good" condition but really nothing special. I bought an
excellent one from Scotty Benedict for 1/2 that.
So that is why I was asking.
The way he spoke, an ERMA was a "special" Luger and very rare.
I also became suspicious when he could not tell me what ERMA meant.
Postino, thanks for clarifying for me that an ERMA is not even a Luger.
Richard.
