Corey,

I think that the best advice sums up to be careful if you don't know for sure what you're doing. $3000 is a lot of money.

The photos (as far as I can see) are of the described Luger. But... do all the parts match? Is the matching magazine numbered or a black plastic base unnumbered magazine (which would also be correct)? Is the holster authentic or a reproduction? It's hard to verify these things without personally examining the pistol, and studying the background on these things.

I think that the price is higher than I would pay for this rig if all rightous... Especially if it's a black plastic (un-numbered base) magazine.

Is everything about it right? I certainly can't tell.

So... you're looking at what might be high retail pricing on a Luger rig that the dealer will stand behind? That means you're trusting them. May be fine... but have you (or someone you've known) done business and resolved problems with them.

If you're putting money into this for investment, it will probably take some time before you could re-sell it at the quoted price.
