Hans,

I don't know where in TN you live, but I have seen some nice and relatively cheap (if $650-700 is cheap) shooter Lugers at the shows in Knoxville. Got a nice mismatch there not too long ago. Also found a 1944 cyq P38 in excellent condition for $500 in a local ad. It doesn't happen to me very often, but you can obviously get lucky sometimes. Just gotta have patience I guess.

Hi..Thanks for your note....Im about 25 miles South of Nashville....in Murfreesboro......I went to our local gun show couple of weeks ago.....almost....bought a 1920 Commercial DWM but it was in .30 Caliber...Dealer came down to $700.00.......but after checking with the 4 different guys that had set up separately selling ammunition.....not a one of them carried .30 cal. Luger...most said they never had......"no call for it".....so after hearing that I passed on the deal.....I was in a gun shop about 30 miles from here yesterday....asked the same thing about the .30 cal. luger ammo....salesman said they had 4 boxes of it that had sat on shelf for over a year...finally a guy came in and bought all 4.....since then Ive found it can be had online seemingly with little trouble....Im just looking for a good "shooter".....guess I will keep checking local shows....and hopefully looking here on the forum for someone to post one for sale......I appreciate your response.....Regards..Hans Fischer

Hans.. you already have a shooter, it's time for a collector for you!, I just passed on a 42S matching but reblued for $700 LOL, only passed on it because it was a reblued.. it was hard to pass though but for a few hundred more I picked up an all matching, it's a 1915 DWM WWII bringback for $950, ... it's in DROS (California Waiting period) Will see if I can get pics up tomorrow

The good deals don't last long, I have made up wallet cards to give to the owners of several local shops and ask them to call whenever they get one in.

I get a call every so often, most are not high end stuff but every now and then you get a good deal.

I always at least go down and look.

They will buy those spar magazines from you, seems there is always someone looking for one. Pass a few their way and they will remember you when the time comes.


just a thought
