Repair cost.

Thanks all for the resposes and advise. I bid what I was comfortable with in light of the needed repair but missed out by $100.00. This pistol was at Rock Island Auction Co's three day auction that started yesterday. My brother and I went to the preview Thursday but I missed looking at this particular pistol. Would have ended up with about $1750.00 in it before the needed repair. To be honest I was concerned about putting that into it and finding that I had to replace a numbered part for the gun to function and it ending up being worth a lot less than I spent. I do like the advise to buy one that is a good looking shooter and a collector later. I also need to research and educate myself on Lugers in general before laying out money! Thanks again!
