Not necessarily so... just good advice.

Would you go into an antique shop and just pay whatever the retailer was asking without knowing if the price was market reasonable?, or whether or not the "antique" was made 50-100 years ago, or last week?

Use the same common sense when dealing in firearms, especially Lugers. Do your research before you buy.

There is a saying here that the tuition at Luger University can be VERY expensive if you don't know what you are buying. That is the reason for this forum. To educate those that have an interest in this pistol's history, engineering, use, and collectability...
