I may be way off here, but for me collecting is by me and for me...it is pleasing to my heart, not trying to impress anyone, just please me. I am more impressed by those who feed and care for others year round, then the material items displayed here or any where else. If your pocked book only allows for Russian reworks, and you are happy with making a collection/study of them, bless you. Never let someone brow beat you by some expensive Luger display, its like buying a car to impress others, not meeting your needs and pocket book....then again Mrs. PL never let money stand in the way of buying a new car....best to you.
