Here’s a chance to buy an authentic WWI-issued pistol that then saw police service during the Weimar era. Who knows what happened after that – did it continue in police service or serve as part of the German Nazi Army during WW2? What makes this nice is it won’t cost as much as that Mauser that did end up in WW II. Remember – no import marking.
I DO NOT collect sales tax. Payment is due within 10 days of auction's end (not just sent but in my hands). I require payment to be sent with a tracking number..my local post office is horrible and this prevents misunderstandings. I do not offer layaway. Buyer will pay flat $25 for shipping to Lower 48. I only accept Postal orders, cashier's checks, or personal checks (with appropriate time to clear, say 7 business days). I will only ship to a valid, signed FFL or C&R in the Continental U.S. Be sure your FFL agrees to receive a shipment from a non-FFL citizen. No sales to states where not allowed…you are responsible for knowing your state’s laws.
If you have less than an A feedback rating, you must contact me prior to bidding. If you bid before receiving my permission, I will block you. I have had too many deadbeats fail to pay.
