I guess you will! If your nice Luger is worth say $1500 now, when you break a numbered part it immediately becomes a $600-$750 gun. But on the plus side, all of the folks that still have nice matched and unbroken examples now move up one more notch on the collectability ladder, so you will be doing them a favor. Seriously, I understand the desire to shoot these fine weapons, and the likelihood of breaking a major numbered part is relatively low if the gun is in good condition. But the risk is there, and it is entirely your choice...Good Luck
