No. I've been told by an extremely reputable expert, that I'm not going to retire on the sales of these two guns. But, I am rather facinated by them as they are so very much different than the Lugers, Mausers, Walthers, and even the 1883 Colt Peacemaker (which MIGHT be a nice nestegg) he left me in his collection.
I had "seen" the pistols through the years, but I don't remember Dad ever bringing out these double guns (which was explained after my mom died and I found the "hidden compartment" he had made in the top of the dining room breakfront. It was full of guns, swords and daggers I'd never seen before. Good thing they lived in an ultra-secure high-rise retirement tower. Gad.)
Anyway, I was born in Germany in 1958 when Dad was stationed over there with the 8th, and I grew up with Germanic antiques in our home, so these double guns are particularly interesting and I'd like to know as much as I can about them - especially since THERE IS NOTHING about Johann Ecker anywhere in any "gun" source I've found.
So, any more thoughts you have, I'd love to hear them.
