Have lugers went up on price in the last few years?

Three Lugers have gone thru my hands over the years but that was a long time ago. When I was a young man a Luger was hard to sell for a hundred bucks. You could order them from Ye old Hunter for $39 and an artillery model was $69. Of course prices went way up over time but I do see a trend that I don't like. The younger generation just doesn't care about any old gun, whether it be a Colt SA, Luger or you name it. They like the black guns with long magazines. For pistols they prefer them made of plastic. Can you imagine that one day there will be a museum for classic guns and it is filled with plastic. My last trip to the range was ruined by flying brass and steel. I walked down the line of shooters and everyone was shooting one of the black guns, both rifle and pistols. I didn't see even one bolt gun or single shot, which is my passion. Sad day.
