It Seems Lugers Are Still A Great Investment!
But quantity and rarety plus demand is a key. A 1900 Test luger and holster sold in a recent auction for over $20K. I puchased mine over ten year ago for $7500 and $1200 for the holster. I will only purchase unit marked world war one era where possible. Kreighoffs are definitly top shelf and still available. Correct carbines both 1900 and 1920 remain both beautiful and more in demand! The only way I could ever purchase these prettys was where I could make reasonable monthly payments. George Anderson did and sold me the 1917 all matching including unit marked artillery along with a 1917 Erfurt artillery then this year a Weimer rework in the twenties finally adopted a Nazi Naval all purchased with monthly payments. There are dealers who welcome payments. The more unique the more they will rise in rarety, price and appreciation. This is especially true where you can track it history and bring it back to life! The finest investments in your future are thosse you are much less able to squander! Its so fine to hold a weapon that survived over a century of use and some how survived to be held in your hand and possibly its fifth surviving owner. Owning them is a rare and exciting privalege like none other and will pay off greatly in value and pleasure! Any thoughts are welcomed! ~Eric
