[Lugers down under]

The comments regarding Austrailia and the collectors selling all their guns and high capacity (Trommel) mags is simply not correct.
True, from what we observe here in New Zealand, that there has been a huge clean up of "Saturday nite specials collectors" but the serious Luger collectors seem to be OK. I know, because their dollar is maginally better than ours and they keep beating me up at gun auctions for Lugers.
I have a Luger collector friend in Brisbane whom seems to have been left alone but there certainly been a lot of guns destroyed,especially Military Style Semiauto rifles and some pistols.
As regard to price for snail drum mag is simply that the market price for them dowm under is about $1000 to $1500 NZ or Aust dollars (depending on condition) which was about a third of the price you pay in US dollars when the exchange rate is taken into consideration but lately that has changed due to the weakening US Dollar.
I trust this is of some interest.
