Will it hurt the value?

Vietec,
This looks like it would make a nice shooter. You should have a lot of fun with it. if I were to have some extra funds and found one of these at a reasonable price, I would certainly consider purchasing one.
I think that many of us on the forum appreciate the history behind the wartime Lugers but in my mind there is certainly nothing wrong with the post WW 2 commercial variants. I happen to be drawn to artifacts from the "Great War". I only have one Luger and it is a Pre WW1 model that is unit marked and all matching with the exception of the magazine. I have only had the courage to fire one magazine's worth of ammo through it as I do not want to risk damaging a part and destroying a bit of history. You won't have to worry about that since parts for your Luger are more readily available and metallurgy has improved considerably since the Great War.
Welcome to "Luger" madness.
