Ed,

Steve is giving good advice. It sounds like a .30 Luger (7.65 Parabellum) commercial. These can be found in all matching decent condition for about what the shop is asking.

7.62 x 25 is .30 Mauser, an all together different cartridge, too long and too powerful for a Luger .

A mismatched commercial would only serve as a shooter. And has no investment value. As well as being expensive to shoot($35.00+ per 50 rds), unless you reload your own ammo.

For another $200 or so, you could find a decent low end collector or a nice 9mm shooter.
