Unsure Where to Start

Camero, Welcome to the club...I would prefer to find one that is numbers matching and hasn't been refinished. This will be a major stumbling block to a reasonable price. For two reasons an all matching pistol might not be good for you. You are a shooter and matching pistols will not be matching long if they are shot. Lugers hava an annoying habit of parts breakage. Might never happen but might happen on the 1st magazine thru it.
If you look for an ALMOST matching pistol the price will be much more in line with a shooter budget. Just make sure it's some small part like the extractor or the holdopen, NOT the sideplate.
Good Luck!
