To further Dwights point, but only as an addition, i feel there is no black and white in Luger collecting.
A few illustrations in my view;
The weimar police luger. To some luger collectors a weimar rework is a rework, same as a bubba rework, yet it has its place in my collection.
The 1923 Commerical might be in 98% condition, yet a lot of collectors do not want one, primarily because it is in 7.65mm.... You see the value of one of these at $500, and a mismatched 1940/42 is the same price or more!
All depends on the individual collector, thus Ron's point, on what is a collectable...
