Snail Drum Questions

sporadicgenius · 06-22-2010, 02:12 PM

I've never seriously considered getting a snail drum for my 1917 artillery luger, but while on a visit to my daughter, I ducked into a pawn shop and found one in the case. What is a reasonable price to pay? Are they faked? What should I look for? Are there variations and what are the distinguishing characteristics? The winding mechanism looks different from what I've seen before. Any/all advice appreciated.
