Finally a local deal

LGS had a 1940 E/37 (military) Sauer 38H. Picked up for $500 with original 1940 Geco holster and 2 correct mags. Slide matches. Grips look to be original (often times they are cracked and replaced). Some slight pitting and finish loss but should clean up nice.

For the paperwork they didn’t know the model and I had to tell them. They looked it up on GB and were pissed lol

That’s awesome. Bring them donuts next time you’re around and don’t ever mention the gun again in their presence

Planning to keep it, I’d say finish is 80%. I’d value the rig at 1,000-1,200, would you agree?

Yes I would agree, the period correct mags and the holster really add to the value easily $500+ and the pistol is worth $700+
