I wanted a Luger, and then I checked the prices… Classic Firearms has had these in stock twice for under $2000. I of course had just made a different gun purchase right before they were in stock. Oh well.
Since watching the C&Rsenal video on the French Chamlot-Delvigne revolver I have had the urge to try and track one down. I will keep an eye on this site to see if any show up.
After browsing their website I can say they have some beautiful 7.5 rifles but dang those Bern 1882 revolvers made my wallet pucker up.
No one look at that website. Go away from it now. Nothing to see here, these aren’t the droids you are looking for.
2 rifles have been sold while I was looking at them already. P stamped pre war rifles going for $700 and under.
Yes, I agree, go away, there is nothing for you here. I will solve this problem, you need not be involved, return to your work, I will handle this.
If the Euro firearms are anything like the ones we’ve been getting in Canada, you’re in for a treat. The Swiss Lugers are especially nice. Ammo prices not so much.
.30 Luger isn’t exactly a common cartridge.
I bought a p89 Ruger 9mm about 20 years ago. It came from the factory with a .30 Luger barrel in the case. I bought the kit because the already cheap Ruger was on sale.
That .30 Luger was still new and unfired when I sold the gun years later. When you could find .30 Luger it was very pricey. In comparison I was getting 9mm, surplus, for as low as 2 dollars a box.
The rifles look nice, but some of the pistols are at terrifyingly high prices.
I am an accumulator of firearms.
Obviously not a collector looking at the price of the pistols and revolvers.
Oh well, hopefully someone will enjoy them.
Damn, I was h oping for a reasonably priced Hi Power. But a Swiss K rifle would be nice…
Neat site. All wayyy too rich for my blood, but I enjoy “window shopping” the site.
In other news, I’ve never seen The Sound of Music. Or any musical, come to think of it.
Based on a true story, doncha know. And the villa where it was filmed was actually the Von Trapp family estate (until Hitler seized it after they fled to the US).
i suggest you start with “earth girls are easy.”
And the family started a fantastic little resort in Stowe, Vermont – which I am rather fond of.
There will be “import stamps” on the firearms, as required by the ATF. If we could get them to relax this requirement in the case of “curios and relics” firearms, we might have something here…as import stamps will reduce the value of the firearms.
Boy howdy do I ever want a P210.
as do i. having trouble posting link so search up “larvatus prodeo p210” and enjoy.
on the edelweiss site under rifles, filters, there is a choice of .41mm vetterli. that’s less than half the bore of the formidable .9mm! perhaps the extra barrel length lends some advantage…
I’ve always got my eye out for a P-210.
Got all excited till I saw the price…Yikes!
