$350 sounds like a good price for a worn mismatched shooter...

You missed the point by going into the decimals- my point(s) were/are:
1- it depends on the "quality" of the luger- the OP did not mention if it was a POS or a Gem.
2- it depends on how much one was making in 1948 or today
3- a common, mis-matched or ugly luger may or may not be a "good" or appreciating investment.

Yes, I "make" about $350 a week now-take home, thanks to Uncle Sam.

Some people make 1000 a week, and that will buy the same luger that was $35 in 1948, JMHO.
