Just got back from looking at them and an initial round of price negotation. Here's some more info:

Colt '59 Gold Cup National Match
It looks fantastic, a couple of very light scratches here and there, and slight holster bluing wear around front of slide. I think I can get it for $450 but no less.

Walther P-38, ac40
You can tell it was originally stamped just "ac". The 40 was later factory added on. I think it has more value. Overall in excellent condition, not importer marked. It has high gloss blue finish, was that time appropriate? It was said to be a GI bringback, with original mag (Walther waffenamp) and also holster (but it's a '44, not '40). I dont' think I can get it for less than $700, I'll probably pass.

Browning Medalist, Semiauto, 22 Rimfire target pistol
I don't think I can get it for less than $400. I'm going to pass.

Stoeger Luger, Semiauto, 9 x 19 mm, stainless, 6" bbl
It's in like new condition but after hearing from you guys, I am going to pass on it too.

So it looks like the only semi-auto I'd get from this is Colt Gold Cup...is that a decent price? Also I forgot to mention this one. It's not really semiauto, it's a Hi-Standard D-101 Derringer in 22LR, DAO. It looks to be decent shape, 90% I'd say. Is $150 a good price?
 
Got the Gold Cup

Here's an update, I ended up getting the Colt National Match for $480. very nice high gloss and polished bluing.

a close up of the mirror-like slide surface, Colt sure made it very well. Can you tell I was using a Canon digital cam? :D

I have a Medalist. It's an ingeniously designed, very well made and finished, delightfully accurate match pistol. If I had an extra $150 for a second magazine, I'd compete with it.

The rest of the pistols on your list wouldn't be of interest to me.

Is it just me, or is the notch (or whatever it's called) for the slide stop all chewed up?
