Hate to break anybody's bubble, but this guy was not selling cheap Lugers. Did up the prices accounting for inflation (this http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi is a great little inflation calculating tool):

Test Eagle $2,508
Totenkopf $1,710
1921 Police $1,140
1906 Swiss Police $1,824
1918 DWM $752
1900 Swiss $1,938
1913 Erfurt $889
1906 AE .30 $2,052
1906/24 Berne $1,710

With Bill's 1972 inflation-adjusted salary of $43,330 this puts us right about in today's ballpark.
