<strong>Looks like a pitted paperweight to me, no significant value whatsoever!!! .................Bruce</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Well - what is one person's trash is another person's treasure. If I did the research, dug this out of a hole in the ground - and knowing it hadn't been touched for 60 odd years - it would be my treasure as well... While I have a lot of Lugers that are not "trash" - this one would find a not-so-insignificant place in my collection. Ergo the difference in "collecting".
Some do it for the value of the paperweight, and can't see beyond the immediate return - while other's look at the "value" of what's invested in authoring what is written on the paper itself....
There are two ends of a telescope. I prefer to look at things from both ends.....
Not a flame - just my $0.0002.
