?! With all the hoopla about firearms lately, I've been reading more about guns, in general. I cannot remember where, but encountered a statement among all the recent literature that said the "average" price for a new handgun nowadays was around $500. It sounds about right, even a Phillippino CNC machined 1911 knock-off has risen to around $400, IF you can find one for sale. I'm wondering what can be had for $200, new, other than those .22lr palm-sized revolvers...!
Seriously, though, welcome to the forum, Tom. If you collect the example you've posted, it will be difficult, we all find, to stop at one. The Parabellum is a fascinating pistol, both in the mechanical beauty of its system (not to mention its gorgeous lines) and in its appearances throughout the last 100+ years of history. It is orders of magnitude more compelling, even, than peanuts or potato chips!
