In general, I would suggest to not consider as "Shooter" a Mauser Parabellum in .30 Luger caliber unless in poor condition.
The .30 Luger production is 3 times less than the 9mm.
This is not very known by the dealers that do not apply any difference in the price between the two models.
Roughly, the .30 Luger production is 5.000 pistols while the 9mm is 15.000.
So a .30 Luger pistol in NIB condition with all associated accessories is an investment.
I hope this helps...

Cheers,

Mauro
