I have many chances to buy a Russian Luger in the high four figure $'s. But they were all restored. I would never pay that much for a restored luger whose price depends on some simple markings. There are just too many counterfeiters out there who are very good at their craft. Frankly, that is one of the reasons why I have pretty well stuck to Imperial Era Lugers. They are easier to evaluate than other eras. Some wise warnings that I received on the 1904 navy Luger have stuck with me and I have avoided those few-of-a-kind Lugers.
