Opinions as to Martz .45 Luger value - Page 2

Once the Martz is fired(could be only one round) it goes into a larger group of fired specimens. Definitely two different categories, and two different price points. I would be so tempted, as I am a shooter, but I would resist if I owned an unfired Martz.

I found a couple of old, original photo prints, with John Martz' signature and a 1979 date in my archives.

Thought this was a good place to show one.

One test shot or full magazine is like test driving a new car! You are not losing its virginity!! All new guns offered for sale are test fired for intregity and safety. They often include the paper target for accuracy. Eric

I'm thinking that the grips on this Martz Navy are not born of the Sarkisian/Tomec collaboration. These in the pics for this listing look like the typical cheap-o repro!

Hi David, You are 100% correct, the gun is definitely JVM made! The grips are definitely not!!!

... I'm sure some one put the repro grips on for shooting, and then they, the original custom grips, became lost for what ever reason?.... And so it goes!...til...lat'r....GT,,,,
