A good Luger, but without the high value

Brew,

There are so many choices of the Luger variations that choosing one has to be a personal preference.

MY personal preference would be one of the Mauser made Lugers that were manufactured during the 1930's and early `940's - especially if you intend to shoot it. These were made with the latest metallurgy advancements and are somewhat more durable than their early predecessors...

I suggest you buy some reference books on Lugers ( Those by Jan C. Still are the most current ) and after drooling over all the photos, then make a selection of what representative type you would like to own.
