Krieghoff S-Code...

Pete Ebbink · 06-04-2002, 10:58 PM

So why can't I find a nice 90-95% Late S-Code HK luger for under $ 3,000.00 ? The Blue Book says one should cost no moe than $ 2500 or so...

No need to reply...I am just venting...

I submit Luger pricing for the Blue Book, but most of my prices are ignored. I would love to be able to buy some of the rare Lugers at the prices in that book.

Brad I had heard before that prices were low in the Blue Book.

I wonder why?

I would think it should reflect market value at the time of printing? Although in the last year, since I got into Luger Collecting, I have seen a rise in prices.

Hi Ed..!

I've seen the same thing in the Krieg world over the last year as well - prices keep going skyward. I don't know what the Bluebook bases prices on, but I would guess it's a composite of a recent pricing index of some sort..???

Best to you!
