I think the question is whether or not the price of Lugers tracks the rate of inflation, beats it or lags behind.

The answer obviously depends on the situation, and I would assert that the price is much more dependent on supply and demand. Demand is governed by the number of collectors and their age. If inflation gets so bad that people have to sell hard assets in order to buy food, shelter or other necessities, then the price of Lugers will likely go down relative to inflation, all else being equal. Let's hope we don't get there.
