Thanks for the link. I wish I could remember the magazine I read this from. I wonder if $800,000 was rounded off, because the magazine stated it was worth a million?? It was a common firearms magazine like "Guns and Ammo" (that actually might be the magazine, I just can't remember).
Also, I have seen a .45 cal Luger at a Dallas gun show before. The owner of that .45 Luger's web site is
www.relicsofthereichs.com . The owner had it for sale (although I never asked him how much) along with other very expensive Lugers that he was selling and had on display. He is a very reputable dealer at this show, so I'm pretty sure it was not a fake (although back then I didn't know what to look for-and I still am a little shaky). I remember seeing it having an eagle crest above the chamber but don't remember if it had a handgrip safety or not. This was approximately two or so years ago (maybe longer).
I wonder if this .45 Luger that I saw was the same one as one of these that the link you provided explained?? He also reportedly has one of the very few "Baby Lugers" as well. I don't doubt him due to what he had (and has) for sale. I never saw the "Baby Luger", but isn't that one also worth quite a bit??
Thanks
