ok, first let me prefeace this with a statemeant that I'm more of an 'owner of old guns' that an actual 'collector'.
I completey respect those who choose to collect valuable historical weapons, and I understnd their reasoning about not shooting a valuable collectable. But for ME personally, I don't own any guns I can't shoot. Doesn't mean I take them to the range weekly or monthly, but I will occasionally shoot any gun I own.
But that being the case I don't buy 'quality' collectable guns, specifically BECAUSE I will shoot them.
In the end, it is your choice, nd your risk.
Best of luck!
