Fraud? & Phony?

Well Im new to Lugers. I have not even bought my first one yet.I started to get into collecting Lugers and P-38's about 8 yrs ago or so, but it was really the same thing then too. So far, all I have heard is BE CAREFUL,ITS NOT WORTH IT,HOPE YOU CAN AFFORD EXPENSIVE MISTAKES etc. etc..I see more people getting out of collecting than people getting into it, beacuse of all the fakes!!!! I dont know if its worth it. Thats why I was leaning towards buying a shooter grade or one of the New Interarms Mauser Lugers.It really is discouraging to us new want to be collectors that this type of thing goes on. Just to buy one Luger would be a big undertaking for me financially, I cant afford to make mistakes and take the risk. But I do know one thing for certain, the good Lord is going to take care of these people who are doing all this faking, you can rest assure yourself of that. I really feel discouraged even more now when I read stuff like this, it puts butterflys in my stomach and just makes me sick.
