I like German unit marked pistols; I think it adds character, and mystique. But if it has name & unit of GI who brought it back, scratched in metal or carved in grips, that is, IMHO, a detraction from appeal.

I even think modifications done by German armorers are appealing; sear safeties, magazine safeties, cut down barrels [arty cut down and reissued as 4"], even Russian capture/VoPo rebuilds are interesting & appeal to me...

...But I am not a collector. My accumulation has no theme. It is just a hodgepodge of various items with no relation to each other.
