Luger vrs Inflation~

I sometimes worry about ebbing demand for Lugers, as the future generations grow up with less feedback on their history. My curiosity and interest was peaked by Tuesday evenings watching Combat on television, and todays lineup of sit-coms and reality shows never approach the subject of WW1 or WW2.
Plus with WW2 vets reaching the end of their life-spans, so goes another market.
Sort of like Model T's. In my youth a nice T was coveted, but as that crowd of enthusiasts passed, the market became flooded, interest dropped, and so did values.
The same goes for British motorcycles, a market that I was involved in for some years. While prices are still good, a lot of sales are to Europe, as Americans seem to want to push a button and not clean up oil.
I'm just not sure that having a large part of your net worth in Lugers is a good idea.
