Introducing myself

[mrerick]

There are most likely members in the general area you live in. Many of us are on the East coast (I'm now in the mid-south).

There are a large number of variations in Lugers. Several manufacturers and innumerable subtle differences between periods.

Most of us are interested in them because of the history, unique design and manufacured quality associated with Lugers.

As one gets a taste for them, things can become more rarefied, especially as the unique nature of very rare variations drives prices high. Because of that, there is always the risk of a very rare Luger being faked. It happens all the time.

Your best approach is to do what you can to attend "Luger University". That includes getting the reference books you can afford, and studying them.
