first luger a Mauser?

[54rndball]

I am looking at this Mauser at Simpsons, SKU C30396 for $1,795.00. The idea is to have a shootable gun to step into luger ownership. Not sure if my collecting will go further, but I desire a good condition which I can shoot without too much concern of losing value if something breaks. Is it true that WW2 guns are more robust than WW1 era? My thinking goes that I will be getting something genuine with Simpsons, even though paying a little more for this gun.

Any feedback on this particular item at Simpsons would be appreciated.
