I am fairly new to Lugers, but I, too, was in the same boat trying to find Lugers in the minus $1,000 price range. i bought my first one -- a mismatched WWI DWM --. from an on-line antique dealer for $1,295.00 . It was a bit of a disappointmen since the barrel bore was not as good as the dealer had advertised. I have been able to clean it up and have had the gun reblued and it looks and shoots pretty good. However, I later came across the hundreds of Lugers on sale at Simpson LTD and have bought my next five Lugers from them. They are not inexpensive, but you can rely on their descriptions and their integrity. Simpson LTD makes it easy and painless to deal with them, so I find the higher prices are well worth it I will continue to make Simpson my Luger headquarters.You might want to try them.
