There is another factor besides rarity and condition that should be addressed: history. I would find a common military Luger in less than perfect condition but with regimental markings and documentation as a war trophy much more valuable than a rare commercial model in pristine condition. The more layers of history the better. I find reworks interesting for this reason, although they have low collector value. KFS
