d) Have some historical significance: played key roles in history

YMMV.

I don't understand what, exactly, you're disagreeing with. The P.38 would seem to meet all those standards. There have been about 3,000,000 Lugers made vs approximately 1,200,000 P.38s made for service in WW2.

If you're unaware of this forum, please visit and see for yourself that there are some very serious P.38 collectors.
