No wonder Sturgess shipped his collection across the ocean to sell here

M1932 for $2k - $2.5K is dirt cheap. Transferable Schnellfeuer sell easily in the US for over $10K, and occasionally I saw them sold over $20K in auctions.

But no worry, in market trading, buying and selling price are not unrelated. As long as those two price tags are balanced, there is no problem at all. No matter it's $2k gun or $10k gun.

I'm thinking about applying a permit for MG next year, but I have not made up my mind yet... due to that's another world in the US context.

One new trend in the US is also "people gather old guns without value". For example, part donors are hot these days (no collector value, but they could donate factory parts, so still very useful). They attract quite a few bids, for example ... extra 15% to 20% BP is not included in the price on the right side yet, but these lots already went 200% to 300% of high estimation yesterday. Very hot!!
