i have a lead on a Sauer Model 38H 32 ACP / 7.65 caliber pistol,
no German proof marks, serial number 508,XXX or 518,XXX range,
believed to be built in 1945, "USGI built" ( put together after the plant was liberated by the Americans )
"needs bluing and rear sight" according to the seller. i havent seen it in person, and... no, i wouldnt reblue it.
what would be a BALL PARK value for this? this will be bought for my personal collection.
i know the German proof marked ones go for $500-600 at the gun shows here, in average condition. on gunbroker German proof marked ones are listed at 700-1200 with holsters, but i dont use gunbroker to gauge real world values.
thanks!
