Good advice, prices in Europe are pretty decent at the moment. The Swiss lugers have been free to own in Belgium for a number of years. This fact dramatically increased the prices of these pistols and Belgium served as the main distribution point to other EU-countries (not neccesarily legally....). After some gun related mishaps the Belgian law was revised and the Swiss lugers are now permit-only guns again, reducing the prices considerably.
I recently purchased 2 examples from a gun store at an interesting location, they are based on the old industrial zone that was once the Rottweiler Pulverfabriken in southern Germany, later part of the well known IG Farben. This industrial zone lay in ruins for many years and has been restored and turned into a business and leisure park in the last decades. The history of the complex makes it well worth a visit.
Sorry for the tatty photographs, I only had my phone with me and they are waiting there for import documents.
