Ron,
About 4-5 years ago when I was first attending the Reno gun show, there was more than 1 occassion when a blank-chambered, grip safety, long-framed 1920's commercial Luger in the 2,xxxi to 3,xxxi SN range were purchased for nearly $ 1600-1800 by a certain dealer and/or and "runners" for dealers...when others just like it but in a higher SN only went for $ 800-900. Finish of the gun did not seem to lower the higher selling price.
I only noted the oddness of the selling price...and at that time could not come up with a reason for it...
