As a curiosity, you mentioned that you live in Ohio IIRC and are seeing high prices for mismatched guns. Where in Ohio are you seeing those? Around the Toledo area, I have not seen those types of prices.

Some of them were armslist/gunlistings sellers responding to a want to buy ad I had up for a few months. There are currently two on armslist for $2900. One a matching Erfurt the other a DWM. Also a couple of local shops here in the Mansfield and Ashland area have had a couple mismatches in the last year. Always $1500-$2500, one shop had a 1916 Erfurt mix master last summer for $2250. It appeared to be a DWM commercial grip frame with an Erfurt upper and it had been badly refinished. Looked like cerakote but was peeling. They told me if the gun was matching it would be $7000 even with the poor refinish. The worst part is people bought these guns. They rarely last more than a few days. I think a lot of people who aren’t collectors see a Luger and just see dollar signs. I prefer to do at least some research.
