I agree with what David said above - in addition - there are factors to each collector, shooter or accumulator

- era (WW1, Weimar, WW2, Vopo)
- type (commercial, military)
- type (contract for other countries)
- overall looks

Thank You. I bought my first luger for 800.00. S/42 1938 it's an all matching parts that I can see with exception of magazine , typical chip on left side of the grips, original finish but with some light rust , very good bore. The seller called it a shooter grade. Is this about right ?

Welcome, and -yes, sounds like a good start all the way around.

But do be careful, lugers are habit forming.
