Yet Another Valuation Question

ma deuce · 01-28-2012, 10:36 PM

I'm looking at a byf 42. About 85-90% original finish, some pitting on the front gripstrap. Good grips, no chips or dings. All matching numbers except the correct magazine. (The shop was kind enough to let me disassemble it to see for myself.) They're asking $1,300. Allowing for its being in MD, where Lugers are rare and guns of any kind run consistently higher than in the free world, is that a more-or-less reasonable price? It's on consignment and I may be able to get it down a little.
