WW2 Guns We Bought From a Local Gun Store!

[@Chiller11]

I’ve purchased some online firearms from Rock Island Auctions but prices of the quality vintage military guns from them are very similar to your retail prices at present. I’ve purchased firearms from you as well and what I appreciate is the accurate assessment of provenance and condition. One won’t get any great “deals” from Legacy Collectibles but you will get what you pay for.

[@jerryw6699]

Even if one pays top dollar, it is pleasing to buy from an honest, sincere seller. Tom is most certainly that. I have bought items from all kinds of people, auctions, pawn shop owners that were probably felons but not convicted, widows, bankers, and others from all walks of life. A purchase to me is a chance to meet another human being and help them, while enlightening myself in some way. The experience of the purchase should be remembered and appreciated. I have made a few that I would never do again, but that's called education, I guess.

[@xcalabur18]

Thanks, John, for ensuring the average collector won't be able to touch these now that they'll be on 300% markup.

[@marktwo3160]

U got that right

[@williamlloyd3769]

You’re assuming the gun shop owner was asleep at the switch. The only person who got a bargain was the gun shop owner that bought the collect and paid the collector or more likely heir a baseline price that didn’t account for any rare variations.

[@billwilson8392]

if you believe these stories being pumped out, you are dumber than the guy who shot the video (not tom)

John should’ve bought them. So much for good scores anymore lol

[@truthtone58]

I love that fn, it's definitely a beauty. Those walthers are top of the line. Nothing like history of guns that are rare and hard to find.

[@davidbrill1237]

Always amazing, entertaining, and so damn educational ! Thanks !

[@964cuplove]

I’m surprised by the hate comments about this dealer buying and selling used weapons…

[@robosoldier11]

I mean its rather obvious why its the case. The guy bought it potentially cheaper from a local gun shop since the gun shop ideally would keep his prices inline for his face to face customers to purchase. Only for that guy to sell it to this online retailer who will in turn sell it back to the public and upcharge it even further. Go to his website he doesn't sell stuff cheap. Which in turn is squeezing the market further to even higher prices and more and more people being left out of the fun of being able to acquire one of these let alone one in decent condition.

[@Jreb1865]

I'm more surprised that people would simp for prices about twice what they should be...

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

This is why I love your videos. So much information and interesting facts. Cheers.

[@Gabby6060842]

So nice of you to cherry pick a store and offer them to us at higher prices. :P

[@penguru21]

Exactly. I'd never be calling these guys.

[@billb89]

I’ve snooped around every local gun shop and pawn shop for 7 years and nothing. Not even a post war P-1 or Interarms Walther anything.

[@flhxri]

I scored a Beretta M1934 at a gun store. It was marked M1954. It was marked 150 bucks. It was made in 1940 and has fascist marks on it.

My grandfather gave me his 1943 P 38 with one original mag that was in it and the shoulder holster that he took off the soldier after he shot him during a street battle.

[@mastertechnician3372]

Looted a dead soldier?

[@Jreb1865]

Did he have any use for it? What exactly should have happened to it? I think people like you are just upset they don't have one...😂

[@philsmgb4393]

@@mastertechnician3372 It is unfortunate that civility and common courtesy seem to go out the window during violent gun battles. You would think that after centuries of warfare mankind would learn to say "please" and "thank you" while they are brutally slaughtering each other.

[@philsmgb4393]

@@Jreb1865 Yeah, he had a use for it. You see, when you are being shot at by the Deutsche Truppen it's good to have as many guns on you as possible because you might run out of ammo, your gun my jam or something like that. It's good to be well armed when Nazis are trying to butcher you.

[@karlhoffman1985]

Lol you said we only bought a few then show a table full of guns, I love it!

He said not all of the ones he is showing came from this store.

You should say what you bought them for and what your markup is, that would be interesting.

Not on collectible guns. On those the bubble will only get bogger and thicker, especially with all these gun control laws and regulations. You want a cheap gun? There aren't any.

I wish I had at least two of those Walther PP pistols in 380 but , a last, I need to eat. They are out of my reach. Maybe one day at a gun show??

Did they make any ppk models in the 1950s?

Yes Manurhin France

I have a ppk that my grandfather brought home from ww2, it needs to be restored, were would I take it

[@garykappes4654]

I am a collector of smaller value firearms....I very much doubt anything I own would bring much over five thousand dollars. When I lived in a large city / state I did know a dealer that did deal with some high end firearms and I would probably call him several times a year when I found something and either did not have the cash or knowledge about it and he would quire often check it out and end up doing quite well for himself.

Hope it wasn't that irrational Justus idiot. I tried watching his video 1 time. Law enforcement should be there when he opens up a storage unit. Kids should not play with guns. Jumps around like a barnyard rooster. 😊

I’m I missing something here, why are all the safety catches off? I was always taught to keep the safety at safe when handling firearms (discounting firearms were the safe could only be applied when the gun was cocked).

How is it possible that you can be so completely lacking in logic??? If you're seriously that stupid...just ask and I will walk you through it! The real question is...how is it possible that someone can claim to be pro-choice yet anti-gun??? You think it's ok to kill a completely innocent baby...but not ok to defend your life against a violent attacker?

[@francisdec1615]

@michelmendoza1769 Prolifers are hypocrites (abortion is always the woman's choice), though having a gun for self-protection isn't wrong in any way. I live in a country with strict gun control, but I can still think for myself and won't eat shit just because the government is feeding it to me. These people aren't deep thinkers. Philosophically both abortion and gun ownership are so called negative rights (no one has the moral right to deny you to do an abortion or to own a firearm).

[@michelmendoza1769]

You rattle off the information about these SS pistol! Has it occurred to you that innocent civilians were executed with that weapon? in 1941 weapons like these were used in the mass executions at Babayar by the Einsatz GRUPPEN how’s that for provenance?”

[@Master...deBater]

Yes...and some of them were used to defend Germany against Soviet invasion...a country that killed 40-60 million of its own people! Others were used by police to apprehend criminals. It just goes to show that firearms are simply tools...inherently incapable of good or evil. It completely depends upon the intent of the user. By your logic...should we be giving medals of honor to the firearms used to kill SS members? Blaming a firearm for the crimes of its owner is just as absurd as giving it a medal when used for good!

[@francisdec1615]

Private gun ownership used to be common in many European countries. Historically it was as easy (or easier) to legally get a gun in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden etc than in the US today. Then gun control happened, and people seem to believe that Europe "always" had gun control, which was actually only the case in very few countries. For example, here in Sweden no gun control concerning purchasing or carrying a gun existed before 1934. My great grandmother's brother legally owned guns without any kind of silly license 100 years ago.

[@shermansquires3979]

Doesn’t ‘PPK’ mean ‘ politzei pistole kriminal’ ? So no irony that the police mostly had the PPK?
