What should I expect to spend?

I agree with the previous posts.

If you're looking for a shooter who cares about how many matching numbers you've got? A shooter should be basically "safe to shoot" and possibly pretty accurate.
If I were you I would simlpy look for an unmatching russian capture P.08 dated 1942 in good shape so I wouldn't overspend and I could enjoy it at the range.
More to that remember that old Lugers should never be fired with modern high speed and high power ammunition.
Shoot safe.

IF you are looking for a "Navy" or "Arty" shooter, then you will have to pay more than the 8-900 range. A std P08 Luger in the shooter category will go for $800-1000 in my part of the Country.
