Hi Bill,

For $ 1900...I think I would return this one as well.

Typically...I get Bob L. on the phone and have him describe any/all wear on the gun before I agree to have them ship it to me.

Simpson's has some nice red Berns for only $ 300-500 more than this brown one. I think the red Berns are a bit more collectible, especially with mint red grips and red magazine bottom.

Doug Smith and Ken Clark of FGS also have M1929's for sale. Ken is quite good about taking lots of detailed photos and emailing them to a prospective buyer.

p.s. If you pursue other Swiss lugers, I would highly recommend the big Swiss luger book written by Vittorio Bobba...lots of good info and great colored photos in that book...it is written in both Italian and English :

Going price for nice, used ones at gun shows seem to be around $ 90-100.

Regards,

Pete...
