Back in 1956 I purchased a Luger thru the mail for @ $25/30 out of California. I had that, a Ruger (paid $40.00) and a S&W K22 ($67.00). Just something to pink around with. Never did much with them after I got married. About 15/20 years ago one of my nephews ask if I still had the Luger and I ask if he needed it. I exchanged it for a T-shirt he had. Forward up to about 10 years ago when I got into guns again. Now that I was serious about Lugers I ask nephew to take a serious look at my old luger. He said that he had sold it for $800.00 back when he needed the money. I ask him if he had ever done any research on it. He said that someone he knew had checked and said it was somewhat special in that all numbers matched including the magazine and where it had been made but other then that he did not remember that much. The Ruger I sold last year for $450.00 and the K22 for $1000.00. So goes life...……..
