Default 1906 Brazilian

I have a lead on two 1906 Brazilians. The problem is they are nickled. The seller wants $5000.00 for both, only sold as a pair. I searched for messages about removing the nickle but could not find any. Any advice and info appreciated.

Spencer - They are WAY overpriced! The fact that they are nickled really drops the value. If they were in excellent original finish (factory finish, not Brazilian re-work) they would command a price around $1500 - $2000 each at best. These are not common Lugers, but they do not command premium prices. $5000 is out of the question.

Thanks Thor and Ron. The pricing I have shows about $1,800 in excellent cond (Luger Handbook). The guy is basing the price on 20 year old info and the nickle finish as being premo show guns.

Hi Spencer, Primo show guns would be "original finish" nothing else will qualify a Luger as a show gun. If you are interested in these pistols remember that they have to successfully be 'stripped' of any plating and then restored (if possible). At that point they have pretty much lost all of their collector value. Bill Stanley
