WWII Russian Capture vs. Numbers Matching P08

A collectable Luger would be priced 40% to 50% higher than a shooter in good condition.

A very high end shooter should be under $1000 or so.

I have two shooter Lugers. One is all matching, and has finish issues that push it below collectable. I paid a shooter price for it. The other has an all matching receiver/ barrel/cannon assembly and a differently numbered all matching frame assembly.

The key is that it was put together by someone that knew how to fit the precision fit components, and it runs properly.

So - buy a shooter and shoot it. If you want a pristine looking Luger, get a mismatch.
