Joe,

There was a recent post by someone who had period Gov't price list for the various sidearms that were available for purchase.

Officers also had the chance to purchase their issued service weapons from the period before they became officer.

Doc,

There is one running on one of the auction sites...photos are bad, but I would think it an Owner name as well.

This one is an artillery :

I've seen that one on Auction Arms too. Wonder how much that hurts the value?

Ron Smith · 05-29-2007, 10:18 PM

The seller hurts the value. Check this guys feedback...

Edward Tinker · 05-29-2007, 10:38 PM

Ron, how can you say that? They just don't have time, they sell "hundreds of guns a month"... This is the same excuses I see on ebay, folks sell so much volume, the customer service part is forgotten...

Ed,

This guy has a 1914 Mauser posted that I nearly bid on. I read his feedbacks and thought better of it. He's got some nice stuff posted, but if he can't get his &H^T together why take the chance.

About 40 years ago I was talking with an old dagger collector from Arizona, The subject of named daggers came up and he said without iron clad provenance as to it's origin they are worth the price to have one engraved. Good advice, I've followed it since. By the way in 50 years of picking and collecting I have never seen a personalized Luger. The closet I've come is the one that Ed pictured above.
