Buy one M1930 back

alvin · 02-21-2016, 02:03 PM

I cannot remember exactly how many nice M1930s having passed through me these years, probably a dozen. After selling all my occasionally shootable pistols, life is boring. So I decided to buy one back. Of course, the candidate pistol did not have to be a M1930, postwar Bolo was OK as well -- those post WWI Mausers were built in best steel. Both were available. But there was another collector desperately needing a Bolo, so he took the Bolo away. I ended up with this M1930, not bad either.

Quite a nice broomhandle!

I've got one M1930 but now I'm thinking about selling/trading it for a 1911 ...

This one has lost a little bit blue under the barrel and rails. It has a correct stock and excellent bore. Back in 1992, a M1930 like this with stock in this shape cost about $2000, if count 3% year over year inflation, that's roughly $4000 in today's USD. But looks like this "inflation rule" only applies to top ones in today's market (I sold a few top ones). This one does not run there. Not dirt cheap, but it's still on cheap side.
