if you are being offered $1500 WW1 lugers that are 80%, then you are being taken advantage of.
I have seen and sold WW1 lugers in 92-94% for less than $1200 this last year.
You should be able to find nice lugers that are collectable for $1500; easily.
BUT, what are you looking for?
WW1 w/ matchign mags?
WW1 w/ unit markings?
Or just nice WW1 era?
Weimar lugers (or WW1 that have been issued to police) are a good investment, but won't go up in price as quick as a WW1 or nazi era.
ALSO, a 98% gun is high end, thus expensive, anything over 95% in my opinion is a very nice collectable.... Each percentage over say 95% and the value goes up.
