Default Help with a Navy and a 1900AE

As I am just able to return to collecting Lugers, I am very surprized at their increased values. After reading many post here, I have came to be quite suspect in buying. Hope this is not an unfair question. My first hopes were to obtain any models of the following, a Navy,a 1900 and a American Eagle for a start to my collection. I cannot afford any high end Lugers at this point, so just as long as they matched as original, finish (unless very poor) is not important. Two items at auction now on Gun Broker are a 1900 American Eagle #93689282 and a 1908 Navy #93747422. I am most suspect of the Navy after reading the resent postings here. Might someone of knowledge that a look at these two and give me their opinion? Not asking of value as that would seem unfair. Many have told be that value in collecting whatever you collect is getting the best quaility, but 1 Luger at $6,000 makes a small collection, while 3 at $2,000 ea. or 4 at $1,500 would be more enjoyable, maybe not at upgrade time!
Thanks for your imput
