i have a couple of questions about antique military firearm worth…?

my father left me a USMC issue m1911 .45 caliber handgun, with three magazines. he has killed well over 5 japanese soldiers with that gun. he was issued it in 1933, and carried it all through world war two and korea. the gun is in excellent condition.

my uncle, who served in the US army and was stationed in germany, gave me a german army issued 9mm luger, and it has two magazines. he got it off of one of the many enemy infantry he put down. gun shoots perfect, all parts are from the original era it was captured in. meaning nothing has been replaced since he took it off the enemy.

i am never getting rid of these weapons, i will pass them down to my kids when they turn of age. just out of curiosity though…how much do you think each one, magaznes included, would be worth? take a guess i dont need an exact ammount.

Depending on which model the luger is, it can be worth anywhere from several hundred dollars, to several thousands of dollars. there is a specialized interest in collecting Lugers. i would encourage you not to shoot it, keep it lubed but do no try to clean any “rust etc” and get it appraised asap. If it turns out to be one of the lesser desirable models, which are still worth $$, then shoot it if you choose. On the 1911, it depends on which manufacturer made it, Email me the info and I can get you in the ball park as far as worth on that one.
shoot safe.

Values and Weapons $143.39 Values and Weapons looks at the determinants of legitimacy for using military force in the US and Europe. The nonintervention norm is weakened by the advent of terror groups in failed states as well as by socalled humanitarian intervention. The development of a norm that calls for a duty to protect has paved the way for intervention also into socalled failed states. Sovereignty has been redefined to be conditional on democratic government, and this makes it much easier to intervene into nondemocratic states.

France and Weapons of Mass Destruction $105.14 France is known to have an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. France is one of the five Nuclear Weapons States under the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty; but is not known to possess or develop any chemical or biological weapons. France was the fourth country to test an independently developed nuclear weapon in 1960, under the government of Charles de Gaulle. The French military is currently thought to retain a weapons stockpile of around 300 operational nuclear warheads, making it the thirdlargest in the world. The weapons are part of the national Force de frappe, developed in the late 1950s and 1960s to give France the ability to distance itself from NATO while having a means of nuclear deterrence under sovereign control. France did not sign the Partial Test Ban Treaty, which gave it the option to conduct further nuclear tests until it signed and ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 1996 and 1998 respectively. France denies currently having chemical weapons, ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWe in 1995, and acceded to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWe in 1984. France had also ratified the Geneva Protocol in 1926.

Japans NonNuclear Weapons Policy $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Japan exhibits a firm nonnuclear weapons policy, most popularly articulated as the Three NonNuclear Principles of nonpossession, nonproduction, and nonintroduction of nuclear weapons. The policy only applies to nuclear weapons, not all nuclear technology; peaceful nuclear power is common in Japan, and accounts for 30 of Japanese electric production. The policy took decades to appear in written form. Following World War II and the deconstruction of the imperial military, Japan found itself dependent upon the U.S. nuclear umbrella from outside aggression. This was formalized in the Security Treaty Between the United States and Japan, a corollary to the Treaty of Peace with Japan, which authorized the U.S. to deploy military forces in Japan in order to contribute to the maintenance of the international peace and security in the Far East and to the security of Japan against armed attack from without.

Incapacitating Biochemical Weapons: Promise or Peril? $83.77 Incapacitating Biochemical Weapons examines the promise and peril behind weapons based on natural or synthetic biochemical compounds that are meant to cause rapid incapacitation but not to kill. An agent has yet to be found that can effectively incapacitate people without risk of death when used in a realworld military or law enforcement situation. But revolutionary advances in the life sciences and biotechnology are generating new knowledge and potentially greater capabilities for manipulating human consciousness, emotions, mental functions, and behavior. These advances, coupled with the changing nature of conflict and warfare in the 21st century, are generating renewed government interest in incapacitating biochemical weapons. Governments, international organizations, and society as a whole have critical decisions to make about whether and how to pursue the development, or conversely the effective prohibition, of incapacitating biochemical weapons. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the scientific, military, humanitarian, legal, and political issues associated with the development and use of incapacitating biochemical weapons. The expert contributing authors explore a wide range of issues pertinent to the topic from science to history to current military interest, arms control, and international law.Incapacitating Biochemical Weapons: Promise or Peril? will be of interest to scientists, the military and law enforcement communities, policymakers, and all who are concerned about the proliferation of such weapons.

Weapons for Oil by Vondruska, Oldrich [Paperback] $103.56 In many works on the relationship of the USA and the Middle East is always one of the most debated issues the degree of the U.S. dependency on oil imports from this region and U.S. vulnerability to their possible suspension. Although this is a very serious issue, there are only few studies that put it in the context of other major Western countries. In turn, the USA provide most Gulf states a military protection, through which they tie them tightly to themselves. The goal of my work is to assess a degree of dependency of the United States and Saudi Arabia on the two most strategic commodities oil and arms. To answer this question, I made a mutual comparison and analysis of data especially U.S. governmental resources which helped me to confirm and refute some general claims. I was able to demonstrate that in many respects the issue of energy and military dependency is a far more complex because it works in both directions. This work thus removes some cliches about the U.S.Saudi relationship and is useful to all who are interested in their military and energy relations in various perspectives and issues of energy security in general.
