Like I said, I need help. New to forum's, And way new to Lugers. I have been buying & selling guns for years. Mostly 1911's. For the last 10 years, I have allways loved Lugers from afar. Never knew about them so never bought one.
hk's, sig's, colts, glocks, les baer's, wilsons, I have had them all. THEN i got married! Where the hell did my gun $ go? THEN, kids! So needless to say my priorties changed. So have my tastes. I now have to sell a gun or two, to get one. Now selling guns that i have no passion for. And buying guns that mean something. I just sold a few, and bought an M-1 Garand, a High Standard .22, A Belgium Browning Trap gun & a Carbine. You know what, I like having Good old guns that look good, i can shoot, interesting & might be worth more $ later. So I am selling a couple of Kimbers on gun broker, and buying my first Luger. You know what i know about Lugers NOTHING! Well a little. I know what I THINK i want. Military or Commercial i don't know. I know i want a shooter, well, a gun some collecters would not shoot, but i would. Only about 20 to 50 rounds a year. 95 & up blueing, ALL matching numbers even the Mag. Something with a little history. And will gain value. At least a little. My budget will be about $1,000. A little more little less. Depends on my Kimber sales. Is this possible? I was going to buy on Gunbroker, till i read on here, Not to buy a Luger on an Auction site. So Guys, what do i do, were to buy. I want a great Luger for a great price. Doesn't everyone! Help! Thanks, Guys!
