As a line dog on the street, I can relate to all the other people who view capture papers the same way they would view previous owners bills of sale...IOW, mildly interesting but of no monetary value...

Capture papers [IMO] are only of value to collectors...people who plan on displaying their acquisitions in as original condition as possible...these would be people who spend years finding just the right holster, loading tool, cleaning rod, magazine(s), even lanyard (if originally provided)...and linking those accessories & pistol to the present with the capture papers...

The Average Joe who just likes the look of a Luger couldn't care less...IMO...

But here's the interesting part: The collector who knows Lugers won't pay as much for a 'shooter' as that Average Joe will...And Joe won't pay as much as a collector would for a collectible Luger...

Strange world we live in...
