Restoration value?

alvin · 09-30-2013, 10:11 PM

Many collectors have dozens of guns of same type. When the volume is going up, naturally there is some preference. If have 2 or 3 instances, it really does not matter they are reblue or not, as long as acquiring price is OK. But it may sound weird hearing, "I have 65 Lugers (or other C&R) in collection, all of them are restored. That's my requirement, I only collect restored". I met a collector only collect recent import, but I have not seen collectors accumulating restored. World is big though, maybe there are some. Even for shooting, not so many instances are needed.
