What do you think the collector market is doing right now as far as prices?

If you really want a collector piece that will most likely hold it's historical value and maybe over time even increase it's value, I would recommend an Imperial WWI Luger, like Ron Wood I believe anything after 1918 is a reproduction. Some of my guns have been refinished, because they were in bad shape. I don't disturb an original Luger that is in good original condition. A lot of collectors don't agree with me and would never touch a Luger that has been re-blued or refinished regardless how bad a shape it's in. It's a big world and there's a ton of original finish Lugers to satisfy your taste if that's what you want to collect. Obviously a Luger that has had anything done to it to affect the original finish does not have the value of a good original Luger, having said that, I like shiney guns which in the eyes of many makes me a outcast. Collect what you like, it's your money, collecting Lugers is not a cheap hobby and there a lot of fakes out there but they are usually confined to the more desirable and expensive Lugers. I have original and refinished Lugers in my collection and I love them all.
