Many of us collectors at the start have asked this same question, "what to collect?"
I can say that I started many years ago with Colt 1911 and K98K, then slowly I sold all my 1911 first, then all the K98K and started to collect Colt Pythons and I bought some crummy LUGERS just for experience and started to learn from them.
What kind of Lugers would be the most interesting to collect? I wouldn't be able to suggest you anything, it's a matter of personal choice. As far as Lugers are concerned at the moment I've only got a very small collection of 14 Lugers, few but nice, my favourite ones are 1900, after all the first Lugers, made in 1900, were made for Switzerland, and immediately after for the USA... but I love 1908 too, I think they made more than 40 different versions of the P.08 so after all it's only a matter of taste ... and money.
