See Ken, I told you these were great guys who know their guns...
And yeah, you're right. We were thinking about the same thing...
Thanks for the info guys. I don't see me paying mulitiple thousand dollars for a gun anytime soon, but it's good to know the difference between actual vlaues and BS values, should a similar gun at a much lower price comes along...
For example, I figured that was too high for a 1939 S/42. But now when I see another S/42 at a more realistic price it seems so much lower by comparison... It makes me think that the $1,800 S/42 is a steal...
I think my next one will have a grip safety, no matter what kind it is...
I don't know enough to be very specific in my collecting so I'll try for a few representative examples of various Looooogers.....
