Re: British Markings: Do they lower the value of the Luger?
I bought an all original Ithaca 1911A1 last year with correct British proofs, 3 correct S toed mags, numbered cleaning rod,original plastic grips in the kraft box. Pistol is a strong 97% parkerizing w/no mars dings or scratches. Barrel is brite + shiney. I picked it up at a local gun store for $450. Fortunately the owner did'nt realize what it was. Have seen the same for $800+ at CA and NV gun shows. WW2 US Military pistols seem to be doing well. But, if it was not British proofed. Would likely be $1000.
