The restored Mausers were priced at $1,100. The restored Krieghoff was about $3,200; likewise the dished toggle American Eagle and the alleged Imperial Navy, lightly pitted, on offer from another vendor. But for the privilege to view an "actual 1906 U.S. test Luger" in the original 7.65 caliber, I would have been sorely disappointed.
