Is a strawed Luger more valuable?

Tony Sandrin · 05-03-2017, 07:56 AM

Looking into purchasing my first Luger and I've decided that I want to start with a Mauser built WWII era P08. I have my eyes on a couple that I'm considering. My question is, for two guns that are otherwise similar in condition, would an S/42 made in, for example, 1936 with strawed parts be worth more than, say, a second variation 1937 S/42 without strawing?

From a collector's standpoint would there be any reason to go with one over the other if condition, matching numbers, etc were all otherwise the same?
