Just back from a 700 gun auction!

Just back from 9 hours at a 700+ gun auction. The auctioneer was a monster! He went non stop from 9am till 7pm no breaks, no food and no bathroom.

There were four Lugers there, the first was a 50-60% all matching byf that went for $925. A 1916 DWM ex police (had the sear safety removed 40% all matching for $675. A 1921 DWM East German rework $600 and another CAI import that went for $650. As an also mention an Aimco/Stoeger went for $750!
Needless to say I did not come home with any of these gems.

I also missed out on a ES350 Mauser for $675 and a few more that were interesting to me. I did at least buy a full box of Winchester .30 Luger for $5 and a Japanese Naval sword. So it was not a total waste of time.
