[QUOTE="mrray13, post: 532366, member: 540942"] yep, i was looking for luger!! close but not quite.... beretta opened a factory in brazil, where taurus was made. brazilian law says that in order to manufactor there you have to turn over your patent...hence taurus, a brazilian company, was able to acquire the patent to beretta and the copycat firearm was born..which was great for taurus, because up until that point, their firearms weren't much better then jennings or norinco. it still took them awhile, but they got better due to copying a superior firearm... still noone on which is the parabellum...9x17 or the 9x19? as to the derringer...depends on brand and condition...your best bet is the shooters bible. it'll even give you an idea on how to appraise the condition. walthers hold their value, so your p38, if in excellent condition oughta be worth around $300-$400...but that is just a guess..again, the shooter's bible is a book u need to look into..... alright phoneman...u can answer the 9mm question...hehe i still haven't looked up the 30/30 story... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
