I don't know...I'm sure there are collectors here who can answer that for you. As for me, I buy guns so I can enjoy them, not for their collectible value. I don't buy old guns, I don't buy rare or very expensive guns (although to me, $1000 + isn't cheap, and I have some 1911s that were around that amount or more.) I don't even like to buy used guns...I have on occasion, but I prefer new...just a quirk of mine. I do have guns I haven't fired yet, simply because I haven't gotten around to it...but I do plan to do so.

So for me, it's no investment...if it is, then I am following the government model.
