Big Norm is reinforcing, perhaps more realistically, my opinion that this Borchardt is not in a condition to fetch premium dollars. However, I will admit that it is always easier to deal down in price than try to raise it.

I am in awe of some of the eBay prices that are going down. There are a couple of guys out there that evidently have deep pockets (and evidently no desire to do their homework) who are buying loads of Luger stuff, a lot of it fake or of poor quality, for big bucks. Even some of the good stuff is going for surprisingly large amounts (triberg's really nice Interarms holster went for over $300, quite a bit more than I would have thought).

By the way, DWM Borchardts do not have serial numbered stocks and cheekpieces. That is one more difference that came about in the change in production.
