Crates full of P08s
When was the last time you saw crates full of Lugers. They are all destined to be melt. Bunch of P38, MG42 & P08.

Now we know what "real" RC weapons look like.
I don't think we need to worry that they will be "allowed" into the US; saving our luger(and P 38 and MG 42) market from a precipitous price drops!

They could bring in hard cash on the European deactivation market.

I would think that they must realize how much cash they could have if only they put at least some of those guns on the civil market in Europe and in the States.
I really hope they won't destroy them!

The Tokarevs are the old original military style right? With no safety? Don’t they have to have a safety to meet the ATF import requirements these days?
Lugers and P38s would sure meet the rules tho. |

they have previously been added when the importer got them (I do not know for sure, but either before importation or right after)

I thought we (USA) were no longer importing military weapons, parts kits only?

Crates o Lugers
I realize that bringing these Lugers into the US would lower some prices, but I just hate to see them destroyed. There goes some more history.
People already don't know what it means. |

As someone looking to expand my collection, lower prices would be readily received. If my role were that of a long time collector or someone wishing to sell them, I can see the issue on the flip side. That of devaluing the collection and/or not getting the money out of liquidating it or selling them to finance other projects.

There may be a few minty examples in those chests, but for the most part I suspect they are on the low end of collecting condition. That could drive down the prices a bit for entry level collection pieces, but it would have no effect on high condition Luger prices in my opinion. However, the impact of these guns on the marking is moot as not a one of them will legally make their way into the US and given the current gun climate in Europe not many will end up there either. Parts on the other hand may be a bonanza.

Do we currently have a ban on importing this stuff? i had it in my head that the "good ole' days" are behind us as far as large quantities of warehoused arms showing up on the US market.
