Granted, he may not have enough of an investment return on a couple of Luger to retire on, but he should be happy with current values. I’ll take the contrary position and say that if he bought them 30 to 40 years ago he did quite well on his Luger investment. Even if he spent $200 for a Luger in 1975, his asset’s value has increased tenfold. Almost nothing in the stock market has risen that much.
