Another local Luger find

East-German police rework (short for 'Volkspolizei').

Rebuilt P08 pistols from the pre-1945 era, many times with newly produced (crown/N proofed) barrels.

Are those not as desirable?

Here is what I am thinking. I have another Luger (which was discussed in this forum Here)

My current financial situation doesn't really allow me own 2 lugers. I took the DWM luger out to the range a couple days ago and at 25 yrd the bullets were key-holing the paper. The rifling is so worn that the bullets are not stabilizing. This was disheartening to me as I am a shooter as much as a collector.

Assuming this particular luger has a decent barrel, I was thinking about selling off my original one and getting the 41/42 luger instead.

I'd love your thoughts/opinions. The DWM seems like a better or more valuable collector piece. Should I just hold on to it or is the luger on this page a good one as well?
