American Eagle Luger

[browningautorifle]

Nice piece, good catch. I've only seen one of these, they aren't too common in Canada. I was over in Port Angeles WA and there was an "Antique mall" of sorts that had a selection of odd handguns. This one was hidden in the shadows and had been reblued. I couldn't see it too well and considering there was NO chance of me purchasing it at it's $3000USD price tag I didn't bother asking to see it. This one here is very nice...

Thank you, she appears to be all original. This gun was given to a friend of mine for free with 5 other handguns. He doesn't know anything about gums and asked me for help. When I told him the value and how much I would pay, he was pretty happy to part with it. 3k is definitely too much. Now that I finally screwed up the courage to go down the Luger rabbit hole, I've been learning a lot! I was surprised that one of the oldest Lugers made doesn't hold the same value as the those made during WWI and WWII. Most guns work the opposite way with older guns being more valuable than later ones. The "commercial" versus "military" arguments are interesting to study.
