Sometimes we go with our heart instead of our head. Hey that's great if your ordering the steak instead of the chicken but a thousand bucks on something that used to be a Luger? Down in my neck of the woods that's still some serious pocket change.
At least you talked him down $500. Geeze, too bad he didn't have it priced at a million dollars! Then you could have saved so much more!
It's like marrying an ugly Woman..why? when there are so many pretty ones around?
Looking at an all original pistol is a thing to bring joy to a collectors heart. If I want to see chrome I go to a car show.
This is your first Luger and you will learn a lot by having it. You won't learn what a real finish looks like.
I am in no way being critical but Karl and Quinton are leading you into a collecting mistake.
If you like the gun so what if you paid a bit too much?
Too much money, not enough gun. Collecting Lugers is dammned expensive and one of the first lessons I learned was not to waste limited funds on junk. Buy stuff you can be proud of and not have to apologize for when it comes time to get your money back.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it! Jerry Burney
