Just as a thought; as the supply of original finish matching guns is finite, does anyone think that 'collectibility' status will eventually apply to guns with much less finish than are currently considered ?
There seems to be a steady background noise that some believe the post war eastern block reworks will become significant in their own right at some point.
Personally, I wouldn't shoot an all matching original; that lack of 98% finish can even increase the character of a gun to some. To me it indicates they were actually used by someone, not just sitting in a holster or depot.
Sometimes I spend a few idle moments holding a worn gun and speculating on it's various owners and how it came to be the way it is. They're certainly the only type of all original I'll ever be able to afford
