Mike,

You are correct in seeing what will happen to other pistols from the WWII era. I always like to see my investment rise except when I want to buy, ha, ha.

Back about 25-30 years ago, I could buy a GV/Exc common Luger for approx. $125-150. Today, this same pistol should cost retail approx. $800-900, that is a big percentage jump over the years, but probably kept up with inflation, and some increase in actual value over and above inflation. In another 25 years, at the same rate, this pistol will cost in the several thousand dollor range. This is good for selling, but sure bad for buying. In 25 years, I hope we can still own these pistols.
