This rare 1907 Luger was sold for $1 million in 1989, so the only question is how much will it be worth now.
As we hear of the Greg Martin Auctions’ spring sale, it is sure to thrill arms collectors everywhere, but more than anything else, the Million Dollar Luger is sure to be a show-stopper. A rare .45-caliber 1907 Luger handgun, once bought for $150 in 1949, was sold to Indonesian billionaire Yani Haryanto for $1 million in 1989, causing the gun to be dubbed the “Million Dollar Luger.” While there are other celebrated artifacts for grab like an 8-inch-long Bowie knife, circa 1830 (estimated to sell for up to $125,000), the big question now is what will the Luger sell for at a March 14 auction in Anaheim, California? – From Luxist
