I was looking at pictures on an old harddrive and came across this.  I saved these off of some forum years ago, but I don't remember which (apologies if it's someone here, but I think this was before I was a member here.)  Sweet collection, though.

I seem to recall the forum post saying the singled out Krieghoff is worth tens of thousands, and the Afrika Corps poster being worth a ton.

Ha, yeah, that's one of the things I thought about.

This guy has like, maybe $500,000+ worth of Lugers and a bookcase from 1995 Wal Mart.

If I'm not mistaken, loading/take-down tools that were serialized to the pistols and kept in a slot in the issue holster.

I've handled original complete sets of Wehrmacht Lugers before, and it's quite the experience. I had a shot at buying a set of five consecutively numbered pistols, pre-war production that somehow never got issued out, and only passed on the chance when BATF told me I couldn't import them as an individual. My price, in 1986? $2,000.00. Value today? I don't even want to know, but I'm pretty sure it would be about half of a house in a decent market. Those pistols were pristine, and complete.

I was later to find out that the BATF person who answered my inquiry had likely been mistaken in their interpretation, and that I could have brought those pistols back. <sigh>

Neat...someone actually sold one here on AR15.com back in 2006 for $2500 (the gas gun.)

Edit: Dropped the price to $1500, actually.

Old gunsmith friend was telling me about an importer that had them back in the 60's in a 3'x3'x3' crate that they stacked the luger's in then filled with cosmoline. I believe he said they were something like $60 back then.

Yep, and didn't have the horrible import marks either.

Here's a video of that Manville gas gun being fired with flares.  Pretty neat, actually.  Funny video, too, the guy apparently didn't trust it much, donning a suit of protection to fire it.  I didn't realize those were from the 30's.
