It is very difficult to state a price without seeing the pistol. It is my experience that a lot of people ( especially veterans ) calling me describe the pistol in VG cond/ as New....only for me to discover when I get a look at it that it is a 70-80% gun ( best case senario ). Remember that those people dont know as much about LUGERS as Collectors do [img]smile.gif[/img]

A recent experience of mine was a guy that had a picture of a 4 inch RUST safety marked LUGER that looked correct ( on the picture ). When I met him to look at it:
[img]eek.gif[/img] HORROR [img]eek.gif[/img] A complete MISMATCH that had been GRINDED and was RUSTED & PITTED all over...Guy wanted $1200CDN...NO SALE DEAL for me...

So my advice is to go have a look at it before making an offer [img]smile.gif[/img]
