buying a first luger
 

can you suggest a highly reliable dealer from who i might purchase my first luger. i am looking for an entry level collector gun and will purchase same from a dealer over the internet. i am not limited to any specific type at this time and primarily want to deal with someone who has a highly established reputation for integrity. thanks for your help.

You can't go wrong with Peter Dunster: http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=14049

Second that!

mitchs, welcome to the forum!

Although I have never bought anything from Peter, I know that his reputation is outstanding.

Another option might be CheckPoint Charlies. I've seen some reasonable stuff in his offerings. He doesn't seem to like to take good pictures, which sucks, but he does stand behind his sales, from what I've heard.

Good luck with your first purchase. Peter won't steer you wrong... :)

I have also purchased a luger from Peter and I give him the highest recommendation.

Yup, I give Peter a big thumbs up too!! I have dealt with him for several years and have never been disappointed!

Although he does have some difficulty with the alpha suffix identification on occasions!! :D

But then, don't we all!! ;)

thank you all very much. i'm sure that he would be quite flattered to know he is held in such high esteem. i see that he trades on Guns America site. does he have a website of his own. thanks, mitch

he just listed that he has a batch of shooters for sale, here on this forum, in the range of $700-$800, which includes shipping and import fees. He sent me pictures of them, thye all look pretty nice to me...

I've heard a lot of good things about Charlie. And Pete too... :D
