I think the most "dangerous" part is "thinking" one may be buying an "invest-able" luger and it turns out it is not! The buyer may not know of his mistake for years.

One must surely be an expert before borrowing $$ to buy anything, house, car, luger, etc.
JMHO.

I think this is spot on. From what I've seen, Lugers appreciate faster than inflation but only by a little bit. And if they behave like other specialty collectibles (art, antiques etc.) the price can drop a lot during recessions. So buying a Luger mainly for price appreciation doesn't make sense to me.

I also hear from time to time "buy the best you can afford" because those go up in value faster. I do not see why this would be true so absent data I would have to say I'm skeptical if buying the best is good investment advice. Rather, I think the best advice is to not over pay.
