TomA,
I couldn't agree with you more in regards to getting a disinterested, but knowlegable, third party to view ANY pricey collector quality Luger. So let me say to the newbies on this forum:
DON'T THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT YOU ARE A SISSY BOY TO GET A SECOND OPINION WHEN YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING AN EXPENSIVE LUGER. YOU CAN BE OUT A LOT OF MONEY IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE.

I once bought an original navy stock with Danzig ship yard markings on it and I was eager to find a 1906 navy with the same ship yard markings on it. I showed TomA one that I found at the Chantilly, Va gun show and after a brief discussion with Tom, I overcame my emotion and passed on this badly restored gun. I don't regret it for a moment and I am greatful to TomA for his recommendation. I was just too motivated by emotion to make an intelligent decision. It happens to everyone.
