Hi guys
I stopped up at the trading post Friday and this little 6.35 Ortgies followed me home. It sits well with it's big brother I have in 7.65-Now they are a pair.
While I was there I spotted a Walther model 8. At $300 I thought it was a little high. But the more I thought of it-the more I wanted it.
Well for piece of mind and the need for sleep I went back today and got it (for medicinal purposes you understand.
Well when the guy came out with what I think is the original wooden box and 23 .25 caliber bullets that looked like they are from 1920 I almost fell.
When I took it apart it looks like it was never fired. It is like brand new. The slide channels are not even worn through the blue.
This is one of the best finds I have found.
By the way they had a .30 luger P08 non matching for 350 and a 9mm luger matching for 650.
I wanted them all but I am limited.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />.30 luger P08 non matching for $350<hr /></blockquote>hmmmmmm, sounds like a shooter,

I'd be tempted if it was me,

Ed I was tempted.
But I already have a .30 cal Luger and a 9mm Luger.
I know you can't have too many lugersbut then I couldn't have anything else.
So I have to sacrifice somewhere.

All those darn compromises we make every day!

(I'd have to pass on it right now too
