    High Power Question

    I ran across a High Power at a Pawn Shop yesterday and its Nazi marked with about 80% blueing and some light freckling.Clip looks original and bore seems above average. The grips were varnished i talked them down to 425.00 .Is this a good price?Thanks in advance

      I agree, but better do it fast. Probably is not going to last very long.

        As an aside: Obviously this pawn shop doesn't have a cast of a couple of dozen experts at their beck and call like the one on the TV program.

          The "experts" on the TV program don't get it right all the time. In one episode someone brought in an original Colt SAA. The expert came in to look it over and declared it was all matching except the loading gate. The number on the loading gate is not the serial number, but was an assembly number. After the loading gate was fitted to the receiver, the loading gate and bottom of the receiver were stamped with an assembly number to help get them back together after they were finished.

            I agree. Assuming it is all matching, go back now, and pay him the $425!

                I emailed the show producers about this and never even received a response.

                  Back about 1995 or so Guns & Ammo had an article about the .45 Luger entitled "The Million Dollar Luger". The article hyped it as being the only original .45 Luger in existence. Since this was during the time of snail mail I sent them a letter letting them know that another original .45 Luger was in the Norton Gallery in Shreveport, Louisiana, and that it was on public view. I waited an appropriate length of time and never heard anything back. Thinking maybe the snail mail was lost, I sent another letter. Same response. Later in talking to a Luger dealer I was told that one of the editors had a hand in brokering the pistol, and the last thing they wanted to do was publish information that there were twice as many .45 Lugers as their article stated.
