Default This 1899 Parabellum sold for a huge amount of money today...



It's from a test series of 20 pistols in the serial range 10-29, this is #21 and it is said to have been a present to a member of the pistol-commission.
Today this gun sold for 316,400 francs including auction fee at the Kessler auction in CH and that is $298,984.= !!!
