They also have an all-matching restored 1910 DWM military for $2,700. Even discounting these retail prices by 1/2, it's still more than the $1,100 I got for my corroded original Mauser.

One thing to remember. Dollars now are not dollars then.

I bought an original Ruger 'Standard' .22 pistol then for $47.00. It is worth a couple of hundred dollars more now. Inflation is real.
