The gun market is stuck

What you see now in the EU gun market, and a scary development as well, is that EU-deactivated guns actually bring more money than original functional guns.

Functional full-auto's have been the subject of a witch hunt by the European Commission and it's getting more difficult to either own them, or sell them if you own them.

Deactivated guns are a nice option for people who want to display a complete outfit and need a gun as a prop to go with it. But for serious researchers, deactivated guns are useless.

I was surprised to see at the last Hermann Historica auction that reblued and non-matching P08 pistols were selling relatively well. I'm afraid these will turn up as deactivated paper weights eventually.
