This Luger at least displays well. That alone, positively affects resale value, especially if all components are of original manufacture and functional. This being the case and price being comparable, I'd go for it if you're in a hurry. Even a Chicago strip'n dip has eye appeal as long as it's marketed as such and as we all know, pretty sells. There are plenty of parts guns walking around at shows, or usually on the same tables but the bargains in investor guns are still out there. All it takes is knowledge base, perseverence and a little hard work to find them. Our most reputable dealers earn their livelihoods on this basis. The mentoring of beginning collectors requires sound advice and above all, an ethical approach.
