Rock Island Auction Test Luger 6795

I was watching a 1939 Commercial Mauser Banner. The hi-low estimate which is nothing but bait, showed $1800-$2400. Of course, what that means is it will bring somewhere north of $3000.00. I hit the bid button at $1500.00 but because of the time lapse, when my bid went through, I actually had bid $1800.00. Well I am the proud owner. But according to Joop and Don, only 597 were made of that model. Plus it comes with a nice looking police holster, tool and extra mag. The lot number is 3557 if anyone wants to take a look.
