Looking for First Luger Purchase Advice

For those who are interested in buying a Luger but unsure of what/where/how much, similar to Don I recommend a shooter. If you must have a nicer one, get a lower to mid-grade collectible, $1400 or so budget to minimize the chance of an expensive mistake. The military Mausers (1934-1942) seem to have better metallurgy, are relatively common and IMO are therefore excellent first Lugers.

The keys to getting a desirable Luger at a reasonable price are knowledge and patience, if you are short on either you tend to end up paying more.
