Re: Imported pistols @ $1000
Bill,
You bring up some good points about the price of collector Lugers. On the lowere end of the collector Lugers range, they are selling in the $900-1200 range now (more common Lugers) and if the import marked pistols start reaching into the $700-800 range, on an average, I could see these lower end collector Lugers going up proportionaly to the $1200-1500 range. I know that many of these pistols are selling there now, but I feel they will creep up in value more than normal.
Lugers are funny about pricing; you see a common 1939 Luger for sale in 98% condition and a dealer will ask $1800 for it. If you look around and shop wisely, you can get the same condition pistol for $1200. An odd hobby we have where there are no set rules. Just a few of my thoughts.
