Kiwi, Vlim ----- Thanks for your remarks and opinions. I'm a shooter and an accumulator (maybe a collector). My luger accumulation is not large, 16 pieces currently including two shooter lugers. I do enjoy shooting the shooters but don't intend to make the LugerMan's piece a shooter. I'll most likely fire it just to make sure it functions properly with both mags then thoroughly clean it and return it to the box. I suppose over time the LugerMan piece will increase in value as will the other pieces in my accumulation. Just since I ordered my LugerMan piece the asking price of the .45 lugers have increased $1,000. That might not be an increase in value however, but time will tell if other folks are willing to pay that kind of $$ for one. That would determine future value. Thanks again for your remarks and opinions.

There is a difference between an increase in value, and an increase in price. The price is up because the value of the dollar is down. The price is the number of dollars. The value is what you get for a dollar.
As a friend once said, "Americans, they know the price of everything, but the value of nothing."
