Watch the collector sites like this one. Shooter Lugers get listed periodically.

IMHO, the best shooter is a 9mm Mauser made luger (1935-1942 vintage) with either properly fitted mis-matched parts or matching with finish issues. My own shooters are a mismatched 1941 Mauser byf with the cannon/receiver from one gun, and the frame from another; and an all matching 1937 Mauser S/42 with finish issues on one side. Being shooters, they function flawlessly.

The steel alloy metallurgy in the WW-II era Mauser pistols is slightly more advanced than that found in the WW-I and Wiemar era Lugers.
