Stu, Civil war Colt revolvers are only 40 to 70 years older than most Lugers. Consider what passes for a collector grade finish on those. And consider many Lugers have seen two wars and police duty in between (or after in the case of VOPOs). A large segment of the "pristine" lugers in circulation today may have been boosted in one way or another. I think 80 and 90 percent lugers will soon be collector grade.
