Looking for First Luger Purchase Advice

My "signature" pretty well sums up my recommendation: "If it is made after 1918...it is a reproduction". I always recommend the early Lugers as great collectibles. Folks start out with just about any era Luger, but when they get serious a lot eventually gravitate to Imperial era Lugers (and a lot don't, WWII fans have their own preferences

) $2.5K will buy a pretty snazzy WWI or prior era Luger, and after all, that is where it began.
