It has no collector value and didn't cost a lot of money.

In the hand it feels just like a $4,000 Luger.

Get something like this and shoot till your heart is content.

I agree with Curl

I used to have a 1942 Mauser Luger, it was one of those a so called "Russian capture" in a very nice shape, and at the range it used to shoot very well too.
