Stuck in the Sixties

RK,

I may be one of the people guilty of what you describe. Its not from having bought cheap and early, however--regretfully, I wasn't buying in the Golden Era. I am personally of the conviction that there is generally a difference--a disconnect--between a Luger's value and its price, prices usually being higher--sometimes very much higher.

For this reason I generally try to avoid evaluating Lugers in public forum, but sometimes I just can't help it.

In private, or in person, when somebody asks me what their Luger is worth I generally give them three figures--what I would buy it for, how much I would want to sell it, and the amount I would like to insure it for. You can imagine the differences.
