They are very well made Lugers, but not military guns. Thus, none of the historic context of the original P.08 or Swiss Lugers complements them.

They have been studied, and very good collector publications focus on them ("The Parabellum is Back" by Mauro and Gerben, for example).

But... they were and are a commercial handgun. Some people are interested in collecting them, but the number appears much lower than that focused on military and earlier Lugers.
