1900 American Eagle or byf 42?

Really appreciate your help Ed. They wanted 6,000- 7,200+ for the AE because they believed the flaming bombs were indicative of a Test Eagle. Haven't told them it isn't a TE yet; don't know if they'll care. Haven't looked at the Blue book value yet on all these items. My goal would be to keep the byf and trade the HP. It all depends on their mood and what the BB values are. Because its a Luger they know it'll go quick so they're hesitant to trade. But very few people are willing to drop 6,000 + on pistol. Thanks.

sotexjay, regarding the byf 42. If the magazines have black plastic bottoms without numbers, then okay.

If the magazines have aluminum bottoms with numbers that match the pistol, NOT SO GOOD. Mauser pretty much quit numbering Military Mauser Lugers after the U-Block of the byf 41 Production. I would like to see a picture of the magazines and the Luger serial number.

BE CAREFUL!!
