I placed an ad in Luger Forum back in Mar of 2015:
I would like to buy a pre 20's navy luger in the $2500.00 range (+/- a couple of hundred) I do not want a collector grade,
just a good honest gun! , Thank you, Hugh
Hi Hugh, I have three or four guns you can choose from, let me have your email and I'll send you descriptions and photos.

The gun I payed $2400.00 for is now listed with following info: Replaced barrel, refinished receiver, renumbered toggle train and takedown lever
, You certainly did not divulge this information to me at that time.
