It would seem that all collectable have their peaks & valleys in demand (prices), but on the average, I've found that Lugers seem to double in value, every ten years. The Lugers that we purchased in 1960 mail order for $40, are now selling in the $650 to $750 range, unless it was a Kreighoff or some thing unusual that you dug deep to pay $100 for. At very least, they have kept up with inflation. Up until a few years ago a new in the box 1911Al was common at shows in the $500 to $700 range. Look were they are at today. I suspect that these renumbered, refinished E. German reworks that are selling today in the $500 range will be $1000 by 2010, as more research is published on them. Tom
