I don't shoot my collectibles. I do shoot a Luger that I think is the least valuable. It is a 36 that was sold to me as having blood on it. I have read several comments about blood on pistols and to my untrained eyes the patterns fit blood patterns as opposed to water. Also the substance wiped tight off and was left no rusty spot. That pistol may be more valuable than I think but I treat it as a shooter; because I don't have a shooter - except for an old war horse artillery that looks pretty bad. But still shoots extremely well.
