Late into collecting Lugers?

I got 2009 copy of that catalog. I bet 2012 does not change much. DWM WWI Military, 98% original finish, all matching, fine bore, unmarred wood, book value $1500.... that mission impossible on Simpson. Private sale maybe.

Yes, I agree, the catalog certainly doesn't match with the internet pricing, but the basic info was pretty informative. Still a lot to learn on the oddities. There is a lot of difference in enthusiast purchase and investment purchase. I'm just hoping to find a reasonable entry point that I can at least get my money back on and learn from there. Lugers, are the hardest that I have encountered to date because of the rareity factor. I'm just looking to get in at a get-out price until I learn more... Thanks for all the replies.
