Simpson Ltd 1920 Commercial
Here is one that I keep going back to on the Simpson site:
http://www.simpsonltd.com/product_in...oducts_id=4444 In apparently absolutely beautiful conditio with two magazines, holster and tool. I'm tempted but keeping turning away at the price of $2195 which seems high for a commerical version. Does anyone have an opinion on what such a pistol might sell for? Thank you for any replies, David |

David,
If I were looking for a nice 1920's in 7,65 mm...I would seriously look at the nice offering for only $ 1250 on the bottom of this FGS web site...scroll down to the bottom. It's mag does have a small chip...so maybe hunt down an unmarked or "germany" marked magazine for another # 125 or so. With some extra time, you could easily find a "proper" holster in nice condition for maybe $ 250... http://www.fgsinc.8m.com/photo_8.html |

I'd go with Pete on this. I am still of the opinion that even the FGS gun's price is scraping the stratosphere, but I have been told that my price conceptions are too low.
On the other hand, a proper commercial holster with a leather-covered buckle and a cleaning rod will run you over $500--and if it is a nice one, it will be worth every penny. --Dwight |

Here is one one may snag for a bit over $ 650.
Crazy looking magazine bottom on this one... http://www.auctionarms.com/search/di...temnum=7858001 |

Dwight,
Granted the nice commercial holsters with their leather-wrapped buckles woud be the collectors' choice. But would a WWI-style holster with no markers marks or date also be appropriate for a 1920's commercial luger ? |
