Bill, Welcome to the Forum.

I am far from being an expert, but I am going to try and answer some of your questions, There are a lot of experts on this Forum, and I am sure that they will give you some very good advice. Being that your price range is $1000. to $2000, that may be enough to get you a collectable. However, if you want to shoot your Luger, you would be much better off buying a shooter, which should fall into the $600 to $700 range. A collectable usually has all matching numbers, while a shooter will not. If it's a collectable, and you do shoot it, and a numbered part breaks, the value goes down quickly. Therefore, if you want to shoot it, you might be better off buying a shooter. Watch the forum, as there are many shooters offered at reasonable prices.

As a suggestion, check the Forum daily, and you just might find what you are looking for. Since you mentioned Mr. Luger, I might suggest you keep an eye open for offerings from the Luger Doc. Here's hoping that I was able to answer some of your questions.

Peter
