1) 1980 - A 1930 Stoeger Luger serial #50Xv with a matching magazine from an English auction house. It was not cheap at $2,500 during the 'good old days', but I applied it a few years later as a partial trade to buy one of my 'GL' Lugers. I came out well with the deal;
2) Unknown, but I would guess $200-$300;
3) I had a chance in 1983 to buy a near mint 1915 Artillery Luger with a matching magazine and stock/holster from Duke Frenzel for $3,000 and I 'choked' at the price. To this day, I regret it so much because I have not yet found another LP08 in the same condition - Damn! I learned an important lesson from this experience - when you find a special Luger with condition, do not hesitate at the price if it is within reach!
