Mike, welcome if I didn't say that before.

First, what do you like?

WW1?

Commercial Guns?

Weimar era?

Army, navy or Police?

WW2?

Find an era that interests you the most, then buy luger books on this subject; this will narrow down your search. Many, many lugerohlics buy a luger, then try to learn about them. Thats okay, but buy a rep piece, one that is as nice as you can afford, but nothing super rare.

Also, is it a shooter or a collector piece? If a collector piece, if you break a part, value goes down to a shooter (does not happen often, but many parts have been broken just from forum members....)
