Years ago collectors turned their noses up at unit marked Lugers as having been defaced or somehow tainted. It time that attitude has largely changed as unit marks provide clues as to the pistol's history for those who are interested in such things.
Comments before mine indicate that some collectors have interest in unit marks while others are ambivalent and yet others prefer not having them. Personally I like unit marks and would pay a little more if it's something I want. But, as always, the overriding consideration is still condition.
