"Shooter's grade" vs. "matching numbers"

A Luger for shooting might have matching numbers if it is an extraordinarily common model, or if it is in poor finish condition or refinished. The mid-to-upper part of your price range is reasonable. A Luger whose parts are an original number match is likely to shoot reliably; a mismatched gun may or may not.

Welcome to the Forum, welcome to the wonderfu wide world of owning and shooting Lugers, be sure to keep us up on what you buy and your experiences with shooting it.
