The early commercials are more akin to fine jewelry. Military examples can show a few tooling marks, here and there. Commercials had to be pretty.

I agree with Sieger about the prices, but that's Simpson's. Different areas of the country seem to command different prices for Lugers, and for some Simpson's may be at relative par, or thereabouts, compared to local offerings, if any.

Your best bet--once you decide what you're after--is to pounce upon an offering in our WTS section. As someone posted not too long ago, this way the wheat is already sorted out from the chaff. Also, post your wishes in the WTB.
