It's a beautiful pistol!

Postie, that's THE question. What can I trade in? I thought about that briefly. I could not trade in one C96 for another C96. I'd like to trade in my Interarms P1, but no one wants it, value is too far away and I had no cash.

I traded in the Simson that I acquired from Russ. Why? value is close enough, seller did not object a rare Luger, and it's the ONLY military Luger I had. It's impossible for me to setup another military Luger collection financially, and a single rare and nice one in my hand is a little bit waste of resource. So....

Another side of the question, why traded for this particular one? I don't know. I didn't have a Late Shallow Milled, and it looked nice. I will keep my two commercial Lugers though. More and more behaves like a real collector? well,,,,at least more concentrated....
