1938 Erma Erfurt w/capture certificate
Newbie here. Any help appreciated figuring out what an unmolested VG condition 1938 Erma Erfurt, complete with VG holster, cleaning rod and verified capture paper (1945) might be worth. It has the old German eagle and two more nazi eagle stamps & other proof marks. I have pics but need to figure out how to make the file size smaller to post them. I'm just looking for a ballpark number. A local LGS took it in on a bulk purchase of firearms. No one knows what it's worth so I figured I'd offer $150 based on what I've seen online. (I could be way off on the proposed offer!) Thanks!

If the rig is as you describe it, you are pretty low on your offer. Figure $225-ish for the flare gun (condition is everything), $100+ for the cleaning rod (if original - reproductions are out there), $125+ for the holster (also assuming original), with bring-back "capture" paperwork being a wildcard. All told - around here $450 for the whole thing would probably be a good buy. $150 would be a steal!
