1917 Artillery at SimpsonLtd

I posted this on the other site and there was very little discussion about it. I was surprised and some what disappointed by that. I was sure that such an Artillery would get lots of comments and discussion.

Here is my post from the other forum:

Well, here is the link: Black 9 Arty at SimpsonLtd.

I have looked around at prices of sold Artys on Legacy and Pre98 over the past couple of years and I sort of agree with George.

I think that a 1917 DWM all matching including the magazine and grips would be in the 4k range. (I am assuming Excellent condition: 98%).

Add in a matching stock and same year brown holster that is in good condition with an Imperial tool and cleaning rod, 6K.
Add in a black 9 on the matching grips, 7K.
Add in retailer profit, 9-10K.

I don't think this is a good deal; but, I don't see it as unreasonable.
In 5 years I'll bet that the value will have increased by 5K.

Decent all matching Artillery Lugers with all the matching goodies are not often available.

Just my 0.00002K worth...
