Last night at an estate auction I purchased a Luger for $355. Seemed like a good deal. I was planning to go as high as $400, which my local friend/ffl also thought was a good deal. It's worn here and there, but not too bad looking. The mag has a wooden "baseplate". SN is 50XX.
I got it home and discovered that it's a 7.65, not a 9mm. Ammo is a lot pricerier than 9mm (I don't own any other 9's, BTW). 100 rds of the 7.65 would probably be a lifetime supply for me, considering all of my other pistols. The wife likes it, and depending on how she feels after we shoot it we'll either keep it or sell it.
I see one currently on Gunbroker started at $899.
Did I screw up, or did I do OK?
