What is a Collectable Luger

agree....

Personally - I have a mix of both types, more are rather "minty" pieces as well as some mis-matches and well battle scarred/marked ones... Each has a special place in a collection - and it is UP TO THE COLLECTOR to weigh their intrinsic value to him/her...

Which is worth more - a Luger that sat in a drawer/holster to retain a 98% finish - or one that actually was worn during horrendous battle conditions? This point may be debated with equal degrees of success by both sides of the collecting faternity - but in the final analysis - neither side can speak for any collector individually...

And, as Robert mentioned - anyone is welcome here... We do not "rate" folks on the "collectability" of their Lugers - but rather - each forum member has willingness to help each other out and share their combined wisdom to better make this a site for the true enthusiast...

So - Welcome Art..!!!
