Is this a good deal? - Page 2

Hello,

I am not new to guns, but I am new to Lugers. I have an opportunity to buy a 1920 commercial in either 7.62 or in 9mm. They are both in similar condition. Blueing is I'd say at least about 75%. Grips are darker on the 9mm, but good shape. Very clean chambers and nice bores. Numbers all match. The 9mm is serial # 36xx. I don't remember the # for the .30.

Both are $695. Is one of these calibers any more desirable as far as collector value than the other?

I'm not a serious collector, but I'd like a good solid example of a nice old Luger for my modest but growing collection of early 20th century firearms.

Does this sound like an ok deal? Thanks.
