The reason I came up with this question is due to my negotiations with a local dealer on two Luger rigs. Both are police reworks. One in very nice condition (95%+), with an okay holster( coming apart) and nonmatching police mags. The other an average condition pistol and a mint 1918 military holster. With one matching police mag, the other a military mag. Both have tools, which are unmarked. I am trying to get him to sell me the nice pistol and the military holster.
He won't budge on either, thinking he's going to cut a fat hog. He's not very Luger knowledgable and thinks they are original rigs.
He has them WAY over priced. And he thinks I'm trying to con him. Some "Luger expert" told him that he could get $2000+ for each of them. I told him that he will probably take them to the grave with him. By listening to the "Expert".

At any rate, I just thought I would see if my thoughts were in line with those, more knowledgable and with more experience. Ya can't go wrong by checkin' with the Pros.

Thanks, Ron
