Yet another newbie here - I've been doing a LOT of lurking and studying. I'm interested in eventually acquiring a Nazi era military luger - possibly a 1936 as that was a banner year in history as well as for my family. Seems that '37 was a transition year from what I read? What in particular should I know/look for in a '36? Or would I really be better off with a later one? '36 seems to be fairly rare.

Answers to my stupid questions would be much appreciated! I'm thinking of spending around $2K for a "high grade shooter" or a "lower grade collectible" - but either way I do want to be able to (occasionally) shoot it. When my wife sees it, she'll want to shoot it too! Love that gal!
