Known vs. Found Lugers

[Jasta2]

I am planning on adding another Luger to my small collection. I don't know why, but I am hoping to get a "Found" Luger vs. a "Known" Luger. By "Known" I mean getting one from a collector, forum member, or online auction site. Online auctions are most likely well searched by many Luger collectors. To get a "Found" Luger my best bet I take would be word of mouth, placing a ad in the wanted sections of local newspapers, pawn shops and gun shows. Looks as if most gun/pawn shops already have a list of Luger collectors they notify when a new Luger comes in, but I might luck out, so I do check the pawn shops. Local gun shows might be best as major ones most likely have Luger collectors shopping. Anyone had luck with placing "Want Ads" looking to buy Lugers? My risk with found Lugers is I am not expert enough to pick out hidden faults and might get taken for a ride. In the end I just might be better off posting my "Wants" on the Forum to see what's out there.
