Shooting a Collector Grade Luger

It's hard for me to judge a price when shooting my Lugers. I think the hold and point-ability is wonderful, and like all serious, or semi-serious shooters, I think the sights suck.

What is a 1916 Erfurt Artillery with 1 matching mag and complete matching rig worth? $2,000? $3,000? Or a 1938 S/42 P.08 with 2 matching mags worth? $2,000? How do I equate this against my Bereta 682 super sporting clay gold? or my M1A NM?

Every time we handle these weapons, let alone shoot them... we degrade their "value". But isn't the value based upon our ability to own, shoot and appreciate their historical importance and evaluate their ability?

They survived the generations, they will survive my generation?
