Frankenlugers, or Parts Guns vs. Shooters

John,

That very much depends on the entire situation. If someone is looking for a collector grade gun, the answer is always simple: Get the best one you can afford.

But there are interesting parts guns that classify as lower grade collector guns. The VoPo's are a good example of this and also the mismatched Dutch contract lugers are in a league of their own. Their existance is well-documented and even a mismatched Dutch contract will bring $2000 without much problems.

If someone wants a shooter, it all depends on the condition or shootability. In that case, get the technically best gun your money will buy you and this most certainly isn't the most expensive one.

This has nothing to do with credibility, but everything with common sense.
