Brien,

I know what you mean about spending in bits & pieces. I just look back and see it's easy to drop $20000 if it's $1000 or two at a time, spread out over few years. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't just sell everything and buy a couple really expensive Lugers (You see, I have this addiction...)

I think Marc's estimate of $1500 for a nice all matching 90% is OK for a 1938-42 Mauser, but more like $1800 and up for the earlier ones. I personally prefer the earlier strawed Mausers (just think they're prettier) but they do cost more. K date is a whole lot more.

Good luck on finding a nice Navy Luger - bring cash, lots of it!

PS> what is "tr."?
