Late into collecting Lugers?
I certainly have waited for an expensive time to collect Lugers, but never the less will go forward cautiously. I have to date about 80 guns of mostly flintlock/percussion era, plus a few top breaks and then several pythons and the like..... I have always had an eye for the Luger, and have been reading quite a bit about them. The values are very diverse and complicated, although I have some descent reference material to work with. Prices on the gun sales sources (a wide variety) are usually much higher than spoke of in the reference books. What I need is to buy my first Luger, and I would like to get started in the right direction. I would like it to be a nice clean military issue, with a budget of between 1200 and 2500. Since this is an investment, I need to buy at a fair but bargain price. Could anyone suggest makers/models, that perhaps would be a good first experience in Lugers. Thanks much.
