Dallas Market Hall Gun Show

03-23-2006, 10:19 PM

I will attend the Dallas Market Hall Gun Show. Set up is Friday March 24, and the show is Sat and Sun. Saturday I will be at table L-19. I would love love to meet any other luger collectors. I will not bring any lugers to sell, just cannot stand to part with them. Will have some Nazi items and some Japanese guns, etc.

Went today. I did okay. Came out with one Mauser P.38 mag (P.38v E/WaA135) and one Walther P.38 mag (P.38 E/359). Saw some nice P.38's and one or two P.08's that I liked, but they were far and few between.

RGARRET what were you near? I didn't pay attention to the numbers on the tables. I would have come by, but I just saw this post.

I always liked this show! When I was working in Dallas a number of years ago, I went to this show and was one of the first in line. Within 5 minutes I had bought a 98% 1939 Luger from Wolff Baumbach (DFW Firearms). This was the first time I had met Wolff and we became friend after that. Wolff always said it was the quickest sale at a gun show he had ever made! Within the 5 minutes, I entered the show, walked by several tables (no Lugers) and there was Wolff with LUGERS! I was looking for a 1939 and he had this one for $1100 and I bought it!

He sure has increased the prices on his firearms since them. I guess he figured they were priced too low since I bought about 4 pistols from him in a shot period of time. Do you think I am the one that made him increase is prices, LOL!!!

Probably didn't help....hahahahaha. His prices are pretty steep, but he is well versed in the field of Lugers and the P.38's he has. I think you also pay for the fact that he won't steer you wrong. In my experience with him, he'll tell you if what you are looking at is a "re-do" or not.

I also bought a '37 Luger from him. Price tag was a little higher, but I knew that if I bought from him he wouldn't do me wrong with a "re-do". So I didn't mind the little extra I had to pay. I still have this Luger too. I've since bought an Hk93A3, Walther Model 8 and an Hk Model 4 from Wolff.
