Crazy-gun show in ATL.

Well, just got back from one of the gun-shows here in Atlanta. The biggest one in GA, happened to be this weekend. It was an excellent show, probably the biggest I've ever been to before. The abundance of Lugers, P38s, and other various guns were VERY common today. Easily, over 100 Lugers. + P38's, Nambu, mausers, etc... The prices on the items were actually 'reasonable' for a gunshow, or even internet pricing too. One fellow had a table of about 30 Lugers (all 100% matching, original), with good prices ranging from $800+. Some of the prized items were:

Black Widows, Portugeuse Lugers, Hungarian, Kriegs, Banner, Swiss, Simson, lots of lugers with the 'grip' safety, tons of DWM import marked (around $500), 3rd Reich era (tons), etc.. Had one in the case with the buttstock (artillery model). It was quite beautiful!

I think a lot of the dealers at this show were from out of state, cause I've never seen them at other guns shows before. And I've been attending the GA shows for the past 10 years or so. All in all, it was an excellent day! I was tempted to trade my Sig P-210 in for a Luger (simson). If anyone here on the board wants to take me up on that, lemme know

I ended up with a Walther PP-22 1940 pistol, vet bringback. OK condition, full WA's, etc... $500 paid. If I knew this show was going to be Luger Mania, I would have been more prepared. doh! Anyways, just wanted to let you all know what happened today. I've been quite busy lately, but I still lurk on the board...
