Matching Luger - How'd I do?

Nowadays, many original all matching but lower blued gun with excellent bore return to 3 digit price range. I just acquired one for shooting. Shooter is not a low term in my mind -- to qualify as a shooter, it cannot be a parts gun, it cannot be relined or rebarrelled, it does not require repairing work, and it must shoot accurately.

Prettier guns also drop in value, but those are still expansive (although cheaper than yesteryear, not low enough yet), and considering shooting activity really downgrades the prettiness of finish, I will leave those alone.
