Introducing myself

Hello all,

My name's Charles and I will in a few short (actually long and agonizing) months be turning 21. Ever since I was 18, I've set out to collect at least one representative firearm from every major combatant in WWII, overlapping with WWI wherever possible (example: the Type 38 Arisaka or the Lee Enfield No.1 Mk.III). I have a youtube channel where I review these firearms and present them in a format where someone who has never before known about a Kar98k, Lee Enfield, can watch my video and learn all the basics.

As you might have guessed, I wish to do the same when it comes to handguns. I've agonized for a long time over whether a P38 or a P08 Luger would be the best choice and I've decided to get both. My policy when it comes to collecting WWII era firearms, is when it comes to collecting German stuff, compromise elsewhere. Heck, I even want a C96, might have to get all three before venturing elsewhere.

So my hunt for a P08 Luger has landed me here. I've got a rough idea of what I want: a decent shooter grade (Russian Capture, mismatch, reblued, etc.) since I'm a college kid without a whole ton of cash. I figured 700-900 dollars is the going rate for these right? Are there any sources other than private listings for these class of Lugers?

For those of you wondering, here's a video of my small collection that I have so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmQ2MdYxg9s
