Famous last words..You bet I'll shoot it! How many horror stories have appeared here over the years! I have even posted a few of my own when the parts come flying off a collectable Luger..

WTF do I care, I'll be gone!! You shouldn't collect fine historical artifacts of any kind if this is your attitude. You are only a temporary caretaker of a piece of history that was carefully, artfully made long before you were born and will be around long after you leave this Planet. I have trouble respecting people who show such disrespect for any irreplaceable artifact like an all numbers matching Luger.
It is embarasing to hear such a cavalier attitude on a collector's board. If money is not a problem.. buy a mismatched shooter and shoot it to your hearts content. Break a part? No problem.. replace it and march on..no harm done. Sell it later for what you paid..your not out anything. Break an extractor, chip or break a bolt, or firing pin on an all matching Luger and you have not preserved history, you have changed it forever. Yes..you may say it's only money..your money..but it's not. It's something else altogether..think it over.
