I don't shoot all matching collectible firearms. Your "G" date is collectable, and don't consider firing it... But...

It sounds like the condition on your new Luger (the WW-I vintage DWM) may not quite be collectable due to wear and finish condition. 85% is considered borderline collectable.

It is worth $600 as a shooter.

Use standard power loads with 115gn or 124gn projectiles. Ball (round nose) ammo.

Don't use "NATO" power loads. They are higher.

You may need to consider updating the recoil spring.
