Thoughts on collecting changing??

Putting taste aside, there is an advantage of acquiring a few nice guns -- they force you looking deep into them. How many times we read "I paid $600 for this Luger so I cannot lose".... true, but that does not imply buyer knew the subject well, except that's a low risk activity. It's definitely more chanlleging task to look at nicer C&R from every perspective that I can think of, well, except home gunsmithing. The fundamental question changed from "How to I make it nicer" to "Is it original". It's a totally different skill set.
