While expensive, the collector books that list, show sharp photographs and describe variations of Lugers are quite valuable.
The databases being maintained by forum members are also valuable for helping establish provenance and the authentic state of Lugers.
As prices and rarity rise, you need to spend more and more attention to detail.
The skill of members that have seen a large number of Lugers in the hand is also quite valuable. While sometimes delivering bad news, that skill and background is quite appreciated.
