The guns that they are selling... well, some probably would outperform inflation, I guess most won't though. Real "investment guns" with very very low risk are guns like Yugo SKS, MN-91, Surplus P1, Romanian Tokarev etc, but they don't sell those.

A blind man could come up with more realistic prices!~~~ Eric

Robert, if you have more and desirable lugers for sale, why not pack some up and drive up to the Reno show the weekend of April 13, 14, etc. I'm sure they would get quite a bit of interest there.

I am not a serious Luger collector, but I marked down those three pistols, will watch their auction performance. Thanks for letting us know.

Watched the auction. Even bid on a lot, not a Luger though. There was a byf 44 P38 wrapped in oiled paper, #3488. Sealed amount $1200, BP included would be $1380. After submitting the bid, I started worrying about "is that bid too high for a byf 44??", but it's will be my first real P38, so I would give it a try. Lower estimate was $1400.

It quickly went $1800, so did not win it. No regret, it's not small delta. But,,,, well,,,, wait,,,, it's not $1800, I missed a zero, the winning price was $18000, or higher, $20000+?? I cannot remember, I collapsed.

In the last few years I've only bought from forum members. In addition to acquiring beautiful lugers and accessories. I've made friends for life and that alone is Priceless! Eric~~~

Just looked up proxibid.com on the byf 44 P38 mentioned previously. It's $1800. icollector.com displayed the final price wrong in the afternoon, or there was a technical error. It's high but not crazy.
