Craig, I seem to recall that Michael Reese in his book "Luger Tips" mentions a seven gun collection that would include all 7 manufactures and various barrel lengths and calibers in which the lugers were made. On average, with spurts and plateaus, I've found that the average matching PO8s have doubled in value about every ten years (7.5%) since the 1968 Gun control Act, prior to which they were selling for $40 to $50 each. Which would put todays price at about $750, which is about right for a 90% common PO8 and $1500 for a LPO8 based on the 1964 price of $100. Tom
