Ferley, I mean, It was a Military weapon at one time, right? So, I for one just don't understand the mind set. It, in actuality has two histories.

Any weapon and especially the Luger is more desirable in it's original shape. I agree that Police pistols have the advantage of having more history but often parts have changed, configurations such as sear safeties or mag safety's have been added. Magazines have often changed from wood to aluminum. Many things took place that some collectors see as a hodgepodge. There are often so many changes on these weapons that even though they have more history, some of the original history has been erased.

Many collectors find them interesting enough to collect as a type.
