Being in the business of selling collectable German pistols, I can't regret any that I've sold at or near the market price at the time. What does still bother me are ones that I wasn't too framiliar with an sold to cheaply the same day that I acquired them: eg a mint 380 Bottom Mag release PPK for $900 and an FN slide AC/44 Mauser P38 phoshate finished POLICE rig with proper holster for $1000. Admittedly, both these sales were over 20 years ago, but ever then at less than half the going rate. Within the last year I sold a Russian marked (begins with a 3) M1906 luger extractor to a forum member and yesterday I bought a nice Russian that needs it. I'll buy it back at a nice profit, if you still have it. Tom H.
