Yes, it's an easy process to follow: if someone is actually selling (and getting) $1000 for dip blued imports (because there are no more to be had) then the price of the imports that people already have will go up (should you choose to sell them). I think if the demand to just own a Luger pushes the prices of imports up it will have little appreciable effect on the collector grade Lugers. IMHO most minty collector grade pistols are probably close to being maxed out in value. Understanding that this is going to create a stir in the collector community ponder for a second how little the price of a $2500 pistol (in 1991) has risen in the last ten years. Ten years ago no one was paying $400 for mismatched, dip blued parts guns. It just wasn't happening. People were paying upwards of $2000 for military artillerys, though. I can see the bottom end rolling upwards without necessarily pushing the top end any higher. What do y'all think?
