First Luger Purchase

Thanks again for the responses. I really appreciate the information.

After consideration my objective is still a ww2 mauser "shooter" (42, S/42 and byf). And I will look to spend no more than $600 for a good example. If I were to run into a "nice" 1920 in 9mm for $450-$550, I would be interested and would probably buy. Although, if going back in time I might think of a ww1 vintage gun. Same difference?

It is clear that the Luger is an accurate weapon. A person just has to become familiar with the characteristics of Lugers. Seems that bore condition may be an issue and will of course be important in accuracy. Any tips for checking this? Or is it really an issue?

Luckily my vision is still great so no forward observers and no spectacles for me! [img]smile.gif[/img]
