PS: Seriously, I think I will start looking for one like this. Just think about it. It’s mind-boggling. The history reflected in the stamps and reworks is the history of Germany in the 20th century. The Kaiser‘s army and WW I, then the Reichswehr or one of the state police forces during the Weimar years as reflected by the “1920”, Hitler’s Wehrmacht or police and WW II, Russian captivity and service in East Germany until 1990, when the new all-German authorities liquidating the Communist state still found them in the active inventory of the “workers combat groups” and other paramilitary formations. |
I kind of agree. I'm not ready to pay top Dollar (Euro I mean
) for something that went through some really troubled times in Human History and played no role in the events.
An unfired Parabellum (which is an animal that does not exist, by the way
) is nothing short of an insult to a very fine pistol.
I think the "cold war relics"(like the VoPo Lugers) may pick up some value, as the "cold war" starts to fade from those who lived through it to those who only read; heard; saw movies about it.
Edit. Maybe one day you will be confronted with sellers of "faked VoPos". Quien sabe?
