Yes, refinishing really cuts the price, but for a collector/shooter this is often irrelevant, especially if well done. Eric got his very nice Browning Model 1900 complete with Weimar Republic police markings. Since it had been professionally refinished, he isn't bashful about shooting it, and it is a lot of fun to do so (I've shot it too.) But the nice part is that I believe he talked the seller down to something like $450, due to the refinishing. Those M1900s go for a good deal more otherwise.
Did I mention Eric is all hot and bothered to find a nice Dreyse? He seriously considered two different offerings at the last OGCA, but neither were quite up to snuff, or one may have been over-priced, I forget. His goal in this collection is to find a nice core of very early representative 7.65 auto pistols. He also wants a Mauser M1914, a Colt M1903, etc. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I picked up this copy at the time for $175. It had been re-finished and I was looking for something different. Never shot it as I traded it off for something else. |
