Pete,
It is interesting to note that the UK sellers on ebay seem to have an opinion that every thing is worth "an arm and a leg". I have managed to score some nice Luger items mainly from US sellers at often reasonable prices.For us "down under" who dont have the number of collectors you guys have, e-bay is great!
Also seems from the prior post that and from prior items that I have seen listed, often the UK sellers sometimes dont know what they are actually selling.<hr /></blockquote>Hi All,
It has been ages since i visited the forum, i had forgoten how helpfull it is.
Lugers down under, you are right in what you say.
Anything over here (U.K.)which is remotely connected to the Third Reich will have a silly-money price tag on it, even if it is rubbish, which a lot of it is.
Very frustrating when i look at the U.S sites and their reasonable prices, but then the shipping and import tax kills it......... :-(

Best regards to all.

Steve.
