Yet another newbie question

Mark,

Every blemish, mark or nick can be used as leverage. It all depends on what you are after. I collect unit marked Lugers. I have some that are well used old vets, but the unit marks are scarce and so enhances the value to me.

Any Luger that doesn't show some type of wear, should be held very suspect. These guns range from 65 to 100 years old. And most have been through at least one world war, some have been through two and conflicts in between. Very few have come through in "Minty or Pristine" condition. At the very least , they should show some holster wear.
