Reworks, and the changes in how they are regarded

[bill m]

No offense intended, but I do not see anything historical about any of these "imports". They are captured weapons that have been ruined by being altered from their original issued condition. As far as collector value, I see nothing to indicate any such value. They are only popular because shooters are buying them, and that is because they are cheaper than buying a known collector variation, and shooters can say that they own a "Luger". As far as becoming more valuable, I doubt it, as that would only take place if a large segment of collectors found them to be a valuable addition to there collection, and I seriously doubt that will ever happen. Compared to the un-altered or actual Weimar or Nazi reworked guns, these are junk, and should never be considered in the same context.
