I always get a bit grumpy when people say something is not collectable.

Everything is collectable, depending on the demands and reasons of the particular collector. Value, completeness, finish, technical state are not simple tick boxes that decide if something has a place in a collection, or not.

If it's in a collection, it is collectable.

Furthermore, I hate to see people ruining perfectly good guns for the wrong reasons (including convincing themselves it's ok to drill holes in things because they consider it not to be of high enough value). But that's my take. I'm in the preservation camp.
