MACE, we draw a distinction between collectable Lugers and those that that have less collector interest.

Collectable Lugers are valued much higher than ones that have value as a shootable firearm. Those values include both historic, and financial aspects.

I have a couple of Lugers that I use for shooting. They are mechanically excellent and have great bores. One is mismatched (receiver and cannon from one gun, and frame from another), the other is all matching, but with a pitted finish. If something breaks on either of these, it won't be a great loss, and all I have to do is repair the damage.

In an all matching high original finish unmodified Luger (basically like it left the factory), breaking a numbered part drops the financial value 40% and the historic value 100%.
