Watched the auction. Even bid on a lot, not a Luger though. There was a byf 44 P38 wrapped in oiled paper, #3488. Sealed amount $1200, BP included would be $1380. After submitting the bid, I started worrying about "is that bid too high for a byf 44??", but it's will be my first real P38, so I would give it a try. Lower estimate was $1400.
It quickly went $1800, so did not win it. No regret, it's not small delta. But,,,, well,,,, wait,,,, it's not $1800, I missed a zero, the winning price was $18000, or higher, $20000+?? I cannot remember, I collapsed.
