A New Addiction? Or Is It A New Addition to My Collection? HELP!

Welllllllllll

I think the basics have been narrowed down.

I think what I am looking for is the following:

For a MAX of 600 bucks (ugly having it hard-coded in my budget :-)I'd like to try to obtain as much of the following as possible:

1) Working shootable
2) Third Reich era (Though WWI is acceptable too)
3) As much matching parts as possible
4) Not a 'beater'
5) 9MM caliber (not the 30's)

I am not terribly concerned if it has been refinished, nice original is good, but something in good shape or fully matching that has been refinished probably wouldnt get a straight out veto. Similarly, one with a fair bit of worn bluing also would not be rejected... who knows, maybe someday I'd consider letting Thor do magic on it... OR I might just leav it as is since the 1911 I have from WWI has extreme wear to the blue and there will be times they are securely displayed together.

I certainly will want to learn to detail strip this weapon... My wife is already making fun of the fact that I once did this with M1 Garands... and a simple field strip turned into hundreds of webpages... I keep resisting, and she keeps giving me that 'yah sure we'll see' grin....
