Default Semi-Collectibles/Collectible Shooters?

I am sure many of us have at least 1 Luger with some sort of flaw that diminishes overall collectible value but does not always send it straight to "shooter" status. Such as:
-An all matching gun that has a swath of "blood pitting", finish rash, or no finish (like my 1920 5 digit Commercial pictured here below)
- An all matching pistol with original, but 50% or poorer overall finish remaining.
- VOPO/Russian Capture reworks (which seem to be a growing niche)
- British Proofed guns
-Alphabet commercials in general

-Perhaps an outlier to the above ones, but an otherwise nice pistol that has a side plate, takedown lever, grips, or firing pin mismatch.


How do you all classify these types of pistols that I am trying to describe in your own collections?
