What is the asking price? With Lugers your best offensive tactic is to first LEARN as much as possible or take someone with you that is knowledgeable. A seasoned seller can bamboosel (is that a word?) a novice Luger buyer in short order coming up with the most creative stories about how this Luger was kept in a value in Berlin for all these years, hence it's terrrific excellent ++ condition and worth. Or better yet the overused, This Luger was taken on the battle field from some SS general (bunk). If you fall for this stuff, you are sunk. Better know your stuff or get ready to get lambasted (is that a word) for much coins. Knowledge is power.....and protection. Many can get taken but Lugers are especially used a lot to sell to an uninformed buyer for more than they are worth because they are so mysterious and intriguing. Get a $400-$600 shooter if you have an urge to own a Luger and if you are facinated by they continue to learn by buying books, asking questions, going to gunshows to look (and not always to buy) it can be a fun trip and make you a better Luger buyer. If you find a Luger in very good shape that is being sold as a shooter for the $400-$600 range you probably will get a Luger close to what it is worth and begin a journey of enjoyment in the World of Lugers! One bad purchase early in your quests can ruin the desire for future Luger purchases. Search and Buy with your head and not your heart. ~Thor~
