Good advice I've heard many times is:

"Buy the gun, not the story"...

For a firearm to increase value because of some association with a famous individual, it has to be documented in some way that is irrefutable.

A newspaper article naming an individual that a firearm is acquired from may or may not establish that. The article naming the individual that received the firearm and a verifiable "Bring Back Paper" naming the individual with appropriate date may help you do better.

If you don't have this paperwork, look around and try and locate it.

Best wishes. We'd enjoy seeing the Luger as well.
