Any Luger Mysteries Left ?

I had a colleague who served in Afghanistan that said his saddest day there was when his unit was ordered to destroy enemy ordinance that included a pristine condition Red 9 Mauser C96. He said you find a lot of old weapons there in enemy hands, including black powder single shot rifles from British colonial times.

The biggest mystery to me is;

Why have the values of Lugers in general seemed to remain stagnant for the last 15 or so years I've been involved

The only folks who are getting a return on their purchase $$$ are probably Dealers scalping them from little old ladies at funerals.
