I shoot my all matching 1918 Erfurt. I purchased ALL potentially breakable parts, and fitted them to the gun. Just in case. But honestly,......I'm an old selfish bastard, and I really don't care what happens to my "collection" (or the world in general) after I die!

I put "collection" in parenthesis, because I don't "collect". I just accumulated some weapons that I like, and I shoot them all, whenever I feel like.

I admire all members here that profess to be concerned about their collection been kept "for future generations". I have this one life, and I intend to live/enjoy it to the fullest. As far as I'm concerned, the world can cease to exist after me (as it will for ME!).

I never acquired a weapon that I considered "an investment" (I invest in other things), and the "future value" of anything I own doesn't concern me. Keeping a weapon (a car, a watch, or anything worth considering "collecting") for looking at it, is not my game. I WILL use everything I paid for with my hard earned money, and have a TON of fun doing it.

Just my 2 cents.
