I guess I now own my 1900 shooter. Funny, they described it as a 1906 "thin barrel".
http://www.rockislandauction.com/vie.../1024/lid/5386 This is just about what I wanted as far as condition and price...well, it's always more expensive than we want, whatever. I think the overall fine pitting is charming!
Here's how I rationalize the buyer's premium: It's what I pay to eliminate travel expenses. A couple hundred bucks might barely cover the gas to a Luger this distance from me--which I think I
would travel if I had to.
I'll get better pics up once it's home, which will be a while if it's anything like last time I won something there.
