What is a Collectable Luger

Just to add something, in addition to the condition and variation, throw in the words "UNIT MARKED" and watch the price go up. Even a well worn and abused Luger gets extra money with authentic unit marks. For a while after Still's Imperial Lugers came out, you couldnt touch a unit marked Luger with a stick because the prices shot up so bad. EVERYONE had to have one and have it now so the market place reflected it. The demand has dropped a little finally so now unit marked Lugers are not as hard to find and easier to afford, so I have 2 now.


The Luger market, just like the Corvette market and the Harley Davidson market, have been taken over by those with high incomes who have dramatically changed the hobby with their big money and preferences for something better than everyone else and the desire to make a big investment that MUST return even bigger later. So us little guys get pushed right out of the hobby.


But, I still collect Lugers when I get the chance and enjoy my garden variety pistols real well.
