value

Craig, I think that you will find the answer to your question very elusive. When I consider a purchase or trade for a Luger I usually will take out my collection (14 years worth) of The Blue Book of gun values. I will open up three or four and see what the guns have done in several years time. You will notice that usually only 95% or better guns really go up rapidly. Now realize that the Blue Book is usually low by about $100-$200 on collector guns. I would also keep to $1500 or less guns as they are the easiest to sell if needs be.
To answer your original question I would guess that 95% or better guns appriciate 2-3% per year.
