East German Reworks

Colleagues,

FYI, www.brocksguns.com (scroll down to East German Lugers). Prices and descriptions suggest that these are being offered not so much as shooters but more as collector guns. Are East German reworks such as these going to eventually acquire the status of collector pieces like Weimar reworks? Are these prices warrented? Several of these guns interest me, they just seem a few hundred too high. What markings (such as E. German sunburst) would be desirable to the future collector? In other words, how do you prove it's an E. German rework and not just a mismatched gun with renumbered parts and a cheap re-blue? [img]confused.gif[/img] KFS
