Hi and welcome.
Good questions- last one first, best place to buy your first luger is from a member here - check the WTS forum! JMHO.
$700 for a mismatched luger, with the side plate missing, is too much. $700 for a complete mismatched shooter would be ok, provided you can test fire it.
I would pass, there will be other, better opportunities to buy one.
