What should I offer for this rig P08

castile · 08-10-2020, 02:04 PM

I missed that the other 1940 was a mismatch. 93v98 easy miss for me. This one is all matching including mag and holster. Eagle L which I believe is for police.

Who are you making the offer to? A dealer? Granny next door? A good Friend? Is it currently for sale and what are THEY asking?

castile · 08-10-2020, 02:54 PM

Its a local estate where the old man passed away.

lugerholsterrepair · 08-10-2020, 03:34 PM

This rig could easily be seen as worth say, $3,500+. But the market is in flux. If the pistol type were in my collecting interest I would offer 3K . But honestly..it's hard to tell where the estate is coming from. Have they had the guns evaluated and priced? If not, how do they expect to sell them> Wait for offers & bids?

castile · 08-10-2020, 04:03 PM

No, its an estate sale and this is one of a couple of guns I was interested in.

lugerholsterrepair · 08-10-2020, 05:49 PM

Raphielle, OK an estate sale. What do they have it priced at at this estate sale?

tharpo · 08-10-2020, 07:53 PM

Looks like a very nice 1940 Police Banner with matching holster and magazine! I'm curious to know what markings are on the tool in the holster pouch?

castile · 08-13-2020, 10:23 AM

Right know they are asking 2500 OBO. I offered 1500 but was thinking of the 2500 and buy it.

MikeP · 08-13-2020, 12:25 PM

$1500 is pretty unrealistic for this piece.

Dwight Gruber · 08-13-2020, 02:19 PM

Do not hesitate to buy this for $2,500.

Listen to Dwight. He knows what he's talking about.

If they're willing to negotiate as indicated by the "OBO", I'd offer $2200 but be prepared to pay the full price.

castile · 08-13-2020, 03:18 PM

Thanks done.

Better hope some Luger guy doesn't come along and spot it.

castile · 08-13-2020, 07:29 PM

Its done.

Ron Wood · 08-13-2020, 08:15 PM

Good for you, you got a dandy at a super price!

gunbugs · 08-14-2020, 01:41 AM

That is a lovely Banner police rig. I have a soft spot for those.

castile · 08-14-2020, 09:36 AM

I paid the asking price and stopped the negation.

SteveM · 08-16-2020, 09:15 AM

FWIW, the rivet on the sear safety is suspect to me, it looks blue except for a tiny portion on the dome that is bright. All of the Banner Police and DWM Police I have in my collection all wear a rivet that is in the white. Maybe the pic is not telling the tale?

BTW, I'm no expert on these. After I got my first Banner Police I read everything there was to read in print and in the forums to learn as much about them as possible.

gunbugs · 08-16-2020, 02:30 PM

I think the rivet just has some "age" to it, plus the lighting might be throwing it off a bit.
