Price question on non-matching 1920 commercial

Maxmania, spend a little bit more and get a matching gun. The 1920 and 1923 Commercial Lugers are very common, and you should be able to find one that is matching for not much more than $700. The .30 calibers seem to sell for a bit less than the 9mm's, so look around and see what you can find. I like the .30's (I think they have a distinct advantage over the 9's when it comes to reliable chambering). Have you checked out Simpson Ldt.? Or give Ralph Shattuck a call and see what he can do as far as a matching '20 or '23 Commercial. I bought a .30 caliber '23 from Ralph last year that is in about 95% condition, and it shoots great!
