Hi Eduard,
Yes, your advice is good and I am listening.
There is a gun show in Norcross, GA (Eastman).
There is a dealer that will be there who has a 1913 Erfurt Luger with all matching numbers including the mag and the barrel is supposed to be pristine.
I will see it Saturday.
I am just a little suspicious about a Luger that old having a pristine barrel.
Anyway, the price is suppose to be under $1500.00.
I like the idea of post 1910, pre-WWI luger, though I'd really prefer a 1914 Erfurt with rig...I think that may be too much to ask for especially since my ceiling is about $2K.
All the information I have gleaned here will at least give me something to work with so that I at least will not be a complete fool ( I hope ).
I am looking around for the "definitive" book on Lugers.
My interest is (right now) is Erfurts in collectable condition. I'd like a 1914, but I am looking a 1916 at Simpsoon LTD and of course the 1913 this weekend.
My price expectation is about $2K but, I am not going to throw money away on an Erfurt that is just over-priced. So I am being cautious.
You guys are great...you are not being all snooty because I am a noob...
Richard
