Talking to an older Luger collector

I purchased my first Luger in 1972-73. I got it from an individual, and he held it for me while I made/saved the $ to take possession of it. I paid either $200, or $300 for it(likely $300)......but I REALLY wanted it!!! I still have it and shoot it. It is an "i" block 1921 DWM alphabet Luger. That Luger "set the hook" and I have loved them ever since.

Looking back now, I likely paid a bit too much, but they weren't real common in the gun stores, and I didn't know anything about them....except that I wanted one!!
