New to Lugers

I have purchased several guns from Charlie Justman (Checkpoint Charlie) and have never been disappointed, but none were truly collector pieces. His descriptions are brief and photos small, so you have to ask the right questions and ask for better photos. He seems to put a premium on WWII era guns and "restored" guns. His prices are certainly better than the high-end dealers like Simpson's.

Mike, before you put down serious money for a collector gun you should do some research and decide what you want to collect, what to look for and what to avoid. While you are figuring that out I suggest that you apply for a "C&R" firearms license that will allow you to buy historic firearms without the hassle and red tape associated with buying modern firearms.
