Opinions on my Deactivated 1936 Luger

Well, even though it can't be fired, a few advantages are:
- no need for expensive and time consuming documentation,
- cleaning is minimal (wipe down the outside once in a while?)
- it still makes a nice display piece / wall hanging, AND
- there is a significant market for deactivated weapons- they're not cheap!
(ex. museum mannekins are dressed in uniform, often fitted with deactivated weapons)

So, enjoy it! I have a deactivated M1 Garand on my wall, I don't regret it. Has all the accessories,a sling as well, and my grandchildren ask questions about it..........
