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...
