OK, potential auction coming up with several axis pistols that I would like to add to my collection. The dilemma is I basically can only afford one so which would you recommend, why and a descent price for each:

JP Shuer & Sohn Model H, police marked

1934 Beretta 527XXX serial number

1934 Beretta can't see serial number

Walther PP 280XXX P serial number

JP Shuer & Sohn Model H, zinc trigger

JP Shuer & Sohn Model H, No JP Shuer logo

I have a 1935 Germanicon proofed Beretta but no Italianicon military handguns at all. I'm personally leaning towards the JP Shuer police marked. The other two are both late war so not sure it quality is the same with these or not. I don't know if any of the others have proofs or not. Will look at them in person tomorrow. All seem to be in approximately the same condition. Decent with wear on the high spots. The Walther has a holster which is a plus.

I have $500 which in normal circumstances should be more than enough for any of them but people go nuts at auctions here.
