Thinking of purchasing 1st Luger

IMHO restoration is a bad idea. First of all you would invest lots of money that you would NEVER get back.
Secondly, the value of that Luger, overall, would dramatically DECREASE once it is restored.
The value in that Luger is that it has been around and that it has earned each and every nick, scratch and bit of wear on it. It is a historic artifact, not a safe queen.
Now I'm not knocking Thor's services, he is first rate. But I feel strongly that restoration is not appropriate in this case.
Sorry if that is not what you wanted to hear.
And shooting it isn't a good idea either.
Not much fun, are we?
