A shooter grade Interarms Luger should be at the lower range you quoted. The magazines and grips do not interchange with military pistols so make sure all the accessories you need are included.

I'll agree with the price range, but differ on the mag interchangeability. The Mauser mags are very good, with a nice, beefy spring, although the plastic bottoms are a bit vulnerable from what I hear. Interchanging mags should be no problem. Military, Commercial, MecGar, Mauser, and Erma should all swap out just fine. The stainless steel, '90s Lugers made by Aimco in Houston have slightly larger mag wells, so mags for them often do not fit at all. I have one Mauser mag, but reserve it and shoot my Mauser Parabellum with MecGars.

Grips for the 70s Parabellums are generally interchangeable with originals, but within the two separate configurations (there are two frame styles--Swiss, with the straight front, and P.08. Grips). Some fitting may be required...
