Any other current Luger manufacturers besides AIMCO/Orimar? - Page 2

Here is a pretty shooter, available down on the LA Basin area of CA :

Looks like it started life as a 1940 Mauser Banner...

I really like the Mauser with the 4" barrel for $995

Do you know if collectorsfirearms.com negotiates on price? If so, what should I offer? I was thinking along the lines of $800 and see if they would take it or meet me somewhere in between.

I have heard they don't negotiate much... but have not dealt with them myself, but if you don't ask., you'll never know ;>)

I would research see how long an item has been on the shelf and use that as leverage.

Already had that question on my list

Guns America has this decent 6" 9 mm swiss for sale for a bit under $ 1000. Looks like the wooded grips were sanded down a bit to get rid of the course factory checkering job.

So I've talked with a California FFL, and he found the Mauser Parabellum listed with the ATF Curio and Relic category, so I can legally bring it into California

Actually here is the entry with the ATF, can anyone tell me if the Luger mentioned in my post above satisfies this criteria with the Swiss pattern??

From ATF page http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/curios/sec2.htm
"Luger, Mauser Parabellum, semiautomatic pistol, 7.65mm or 9mm Luger, 4 and 6" barrel, Swiss pattern with grip safety and the American Eagle stamped on the receiver; made from 1970 to 1978."

Thanks

The "swiss" the BATF C&R list refers to is the 1970's luger with the front edge of the grip stap. Same shape as the M1929 Swiss Bern luger...
