Portland Gun Show Report Sept. '04
The Rose City Gun Collector's Portland Expo show is this weekend. I'm relieved to say that the downward trend of the last show has not continued, the respectable number of gun tables has returned and the non-gun/flea mkt./beef jerky contingent is few and far between.
Lugers on the other hand, are pretty sparse.
1911 DWM unit marked no holdopen, not bad except for a refinished sideplate, $895.
1918 DWM LP-08 with a Simson e/6 4" rebarrel and PTV/eagle Berlin Police Armory acceptance mark, not too bad condition, $895.
1916 DWM, bread-and-butter Imperial, decent shape but lots of barrel wear, $475.
Mauser Parabellum, 4" 9mm Swiss-pattern, $750 (I think...)
Jerry Kramer was there with a selection of high-grade, high-price Lugers:
1913 Erfurt with stock lug, $1,595
Mauser Banner Swiss Commercial $3,695
Pacific Arms 6" barrel, medallion grips, blank toggle, GERMANY stamped lengthwise on the chamber top, $4,995
byf 42, $1,995
1906 American Eagle, $1,895

1906 Swiss cross-in-sunburst, $2,995
1906 Portuguese M2, $2,695
ERMA .22 conversion in box, $749

and thats about it.
