A conclusion which cannot be drawn from the information presented.

The cavalier willingness of people here willing to risk collectable-quality Lugers is truly a cause for concern and dismay. Remember, ultimately you are only custodian of these pistols. If you destroy their collectibility it is forever, for all the collectors to come.

Shoot a shooter. Don't shoot a matching collectible.
