Herb, that last Reno show was something else, every Luger I saw was priced as if it was gold plated with a platinum lined bore. Not a single good buy on the 1000 tables or so. The one I went to in 2001 Pete found a Simson shooter that had been refinished in black chrome and led me over to it, I got that one for $395, I wish I could do that every day of the week, that sucker is really purdy with the gold colored filling in the stamps against that black chrome. The normally strawed parts were blued so I did ole 1500 grit sanding and put them in the oven trick and it looks great now. Even lucked out and found a Simson mag on Ebay, wrong number, but still a Simson. I guess $700 saved now is two $350 shooters tomorrow. I'm going to put an ad in a little rag called the 'Horse Shoe Trader' that covers all of southern Utah and see what falls out, that $300 all original Spandau is out there somewhere, I'm goin' fishin.
