"Original Mauser" stamp on Toggle

Interarms was the Importer for the post war Mauser Lugers. They are great Lugers and a "hoot" to own and shoot, but that price is WAY out of line.

Checked the item today, and it was indeed a "Made in Germany" model Mauser new never been fired. While it IS expensive one has to remember that I am In Canada and we pay dearly for our toys, $3500 seems to be about the going price I am afraid and while I would love to take advantage of the lower prices for all Lugers south of the border, it is damn near impossible to get one across the border without a lot of hassle and paperwork . I have a 1918 DWM with about a 50% finish, no rust anywhere all the numbers match including the two original factor magazines that I will not shoot in fear something might break. I thought this might be a shooter, while the trigger pull sucks, it is accurate. Thanks for you input everyone.

I didn't realize that you lived in Canada. I have no idea what handgun prices are there compared to the USA. Here, a NIB, unfired post war Mauser with box, and all of the goodies is about 1/2 of what that fella wants for his. I purchased mine some time ago, and it was unfired, for less than 1/2 of that price.

I guess we just have to go with the flow, or move.
