Hello Alex, and wecome to the Forum,
If your $ 175.00 luger is in good working order, you have found great buy.
Any decent, working order gun for $ 175.00 is a bargin and having it be a luger is the "ala mode"...on a piece of pie.
If you have a digital camera or access to a friend who does, please feel free to post some photos here on the Forum and most folks will help you identify its history...and can steer you in the direction of the right books to read as well about your particular model...
I am one of the newbies here, as we are called. Some even call me a 90-day wonder...but actually it has been nearly 270 days since I got the luger bug.
Once you shoot your first luger, you might get hooked...I am on my 14th. luger and now chasing my 15th. model...
You will find some great luger folks here, and even a few with manners lacking...but stick around, we all seem to co-exist here...
Good luger hunting...
Regards,
Pete... <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
