Have lugers went up on price in the last few years?

The sheer number of young people that have an education and appreciation for history is a bit less than when I was younger. Still, I have met young people at gun shows that show considerable interest and seem to enjoy discussing firearms from the Luger's period.

I expect that apart from the political correctness that pervades today's social discourse, there is considerable interest in the shooting sports, European history and collecting.

Prices reflect both supply (which - for Lugers - appears stable) and demand. There are a number of places where young people can learn about Lugers today that did not exist when I was younger.

Perhaps as collectors we need to pay more attention to creating displays of history that you can hold in your hand, and start talking about our parent's generation and their experiences during very trying times.

Truth and facts have a way of attracting people that can appreciate the real (as opposed to the virtual) world.

The more people that act on the thought "I'd like one of those" that exist, the higher prices will go.
