I should have asked differently.
In fact, I'm not worried with how gun (Luger) collecting performs as an investment. A t least, in my part of world old guns are not a commodity as they are difficult to sell and the local collecting market is small, and the economy is frequently in turmoil. I collect them because of my passion for history and historical firearms.
When I asked about the inflation I was curious about how the Luger performed in the market at that time and how it would cost today as a "normal" gun still in production. I frequently read that Lugers were expensive pistols back then but the same 1904 Ad I posted brings big bore revolver for a similar price, so it was not a gun target for a super prime market, as it was affordable for a middle class guy. So that was the idea.
But, anyway, this topic is a nice reading.
