Wow! It's one of the rare pre-dated 1917 / 1906 "Comercial Lugars".
I believe the only other one known to eksist is in the NAR museem. Up thar in Ikypooky Massatoochits. Er sum durn place like at. Tac, I can't believe that you wouldn't be able to tell black plastic from Nauga Horn.

Tac,

Shouldn't all of us send the seller a message about being overpriced?
Just a thought. Brent B. |

Maybe "Haksaw" (the seller) has a warped sense of humor and he is having a bit of fun. Unfortunately, I think he may be serious and doesn't have a clue what he doing.

I looked at the writeup again and just figured out why it's so valuable.....it's a LugAr, not a LugEr.
LOL Brent B. |

Gerben,
Looks like you were right, he got his dots, commas and zeros under control and the price is back down near where it should be. Still mis-identified though. I wonder why he thinks a military Luger with a 1917 date on it is a 1906 Commercial?
