Default Collector's standards for Lugers

I'm sure it has been talked about many times but I was curious what most collectors look for and what they are willing to compromise on when getting a Luger? Of course 100% original finish, completely matching #'s is what everyone wants but with availability of funds and Lugers that isn't always an option. For me in a military Luger I will sacrifice some original finish, bore condition isn't terribly important but I do place value on matching #'s but not matching mag's or even firing pins or hold opens. A commercial I place more importance on original finish condition and matching #'s, bore condition I don't expect pristine but I don't want a haled out one either. Just curious what other guys think is important.
