If I could go back in time, and do one thing regarding guns that I didn't do back in the 60's, it probably wouldn't be Lugers, but I would buy every Thompson submachine gun, and MP-38/40 that I could afford before 1968 and put them in a climate controlled environment (my safe) and wait until now to liquidate them. That would replace my 401K plan a couple of time over...

I remember that you could register and buy brand new Thompsons from Numeric Arms/Auto Ordnance for less than $600 back then. The WW2 souvenirs that were registered under the NFA of 1934 were even cheaper. The "appreciation" of those Class III firearms to today's value would buy me more than few nice Lugers today.
