I have 3 pistols that I will never shoot. All 3 are all original WW1 & WW2 guns. One is a 1918 Remington UMC where only 21,676 were made and orders came after the war to destroy what was left of them since parts didn’t exchange perfectly with the Colt 1911. These go from mid 4 figures to the low 5 figures.The next one is a 1916 DMC German Luger all matching in high condition from my wife’s uncle who bought it at a pawn shop as a kid (with dads help) in Braselton,Ga. I promised him it wouldn’t leave the family. The last one is an Ithaca 1911A1 from 1943 in all original condition. If any of these gets a broken part from firing the value drops significantly. But I enjoy them as is, wiping them down and keeping them waxed.
