Dan,

You'll need to shopping cart for two reasons :

1. To bring your new lugers home; no doubt...

2. But you'll need it to bring your cash !!! (Ha! Ha!)

I came to Ralph's with my "Acquisition Plan". (My wife teases me that I create a plan for everything in my life...)That is, for each luger era (Imperial, Weimar, 3rd. Reich, and Post-WW2) I had listed 2-3 lugers on my wish list. This plan will guide me over the next 2-3 years of luger hunting.

A 06/24 Swiss was on my list for the Imperial era.

Ralph also took some time and reviewed my plan/list and he thought it was a well-rounded list that I should be able to fill up for $ 10-12K. I seem to have researched/picked lugers on my list that are more rare and were made in fewer numbers.

Picking out my 06/24 Swiss was not hard. I went to look at another Swiss he "advertised" on his inventory list. I saw it and it was in fine shape. But then he placed this other 06/24 Swiss next to it and it was no comparison. And he sold it to me for the same price !!!

I also had Ralph show me some other nice lugers in the $ 1500 to $ 2000 price range (also on my Acquisition Plan), but nothing was quite as nice after he brought out the 06/24. Of course, I did pay more for it, though...
