Will it hurt the value?

Welcome to the Luger Forum! I will let those who know these give you accurate answers but yes. Any wear from shooting or even handling starts whittling on the price/value. It's called damage and you want to minimize it. You have to figure though..if you bought it to shoot..there is value in doing that too. These are generally in the $1,000-1,200 range I think? Some people collect these..I don't know how well they shoot. Perhaps Gerben will chime in.
