Sam, and as a collorlary to my last message, it should be pointed out that $1000 collection Luger that is a little lacking in strawing is DECREASED in value to $400-$500 with collectors, and some would not even want the gun anymore if it is reworked. I think the real question is do the Russian reworks have a lot of collection value. Not at present but perhaps later they might, but the guns were reworked by the Russian and dip in COLD bluing and so in my view they have been reworked onced from their original condition anyway so another rework that looks way better is not damaging in my view! I know others WILL disagree with me but Such is life and viva la differance!!!~Thor~
