What does a Luger cost?

Howdy JohnF,
your response to Mark is correct (as I understand it). The English dealer that I talked to was trying to make a point by frequently saying that there was no law "IN BLACK AND WHITE" requiring subjects to deactivate their guns. My understanding is that the lawmakers wanted to create a loophole for Section 5 international dealers. There is a law "IN BLACK AND WHITE" that requires all other subjects to get a license for a weapon. But you can not get a license unless the gun has been deactivated and approved as you described. I personally think this is a bit of legal Tomfoolery.

If you wish, I have this Englishmans (he made a point of saying he was not British) address in London as well as his email address. I will be happy to foreward it to you. Just email me your request. In spite of our go around on legalese, he really was a nice guy. He enjoyed teasing some Canadian gentlemen (also not British or even English) who had a table next to his. We had a delightful conversation at the Novi, Michigan gun show about Kaiser Wilhelm II and the fact that the Kaisers mother was Queen Victorias eldest daughter. We also discussed prices of Borchardt pistols in Europe (we were both eyeing a minty DWM Borchardt at the show).
Aloha,
Big Norm
