All it takes is that one little part to not match and you have for the most part a shooter luger vs. one with collectors value.
I would ask the gun shop owner to take it apart and make sure he is selling what he says he is. I live in Canada, so prices here are generally a lot cheaper. But down in the states I would say $850 is not a bad deal, but that statement is not easy to make without seeing the gun or what prices are like in California. If it is all matching and the gun has a decent finish % I would say that deal is really not that bad.
And it is your first Luger, say you do over pay $100 is it really that bad if you like it? Until you own a Luger it is hard to understand everything about them, reading can only take you so far. I say if you got the money and the luger looks okay take it! And then learn from it and be ready for your next purchase.
