Another newbie auction buy. How did I do?

[thegundude]

Hey guys,

Well, somehow I managed to buy another Luger, my second. Not sure how it happened, to be honest. I saw a 1920 commercial in about 50% blueing condition but with all matching numbers. I've been looking for a shooter and figured that I'd toss in the first bid at the opening price of $500. What I didn't realize was that it was a fairly short auction and I wound up being the only bidder.

I'm not sure if I was the only bidder because I got lucky or if its just not worth the $500 bid to begin with. Did I mention I'm a newbie?

Anyway, here's the closed auction. I don't have the gun just yet to take my own pics, but this should suffice. Another contributing factor to this purchase was that I had dealt with this place before many times and their pictures always look worse that the actual gun once I get it. I trust Collectors Firearms completely.

So please, anyone, tell me what you think. Did I do well, break even or get taken?
