T.V. Luger Sighting

[Mike B]

Yes, I saw that episode. Last night was a rerun. I went to that pawn shop with two very nice Lugers. I spoke to the owner of the shop. He called in his so called gun expert to look at the Lugers. These were two very collectable Lugers in 95% condition or better. He did not even ask me what I wanted for them. He asked me to give him my phone number; basically, don't call me, I'll call you. I honestly think they thought I was some kind of hussler trying to slip him a banana. IMHO that show and the other Pawn shop show is all Hollywood.

That is really interesting that you did that. Your Lugers most likely made them swallow hard, and they likely felt that they were out of their price range, or more likely, did not know how to value them correctly.
