			I am  not  a  collector,  but, before I did anything with that pistol I'd  find  out about collector  value.  Lugers often bring a  good  price. 
   As far as reloading for it, it  may be easier than you  think. I  did about  2 minutes worth of searching, and  found  2  jacketed  bullets  for the  30  Luger- one made by Hornady, one  by  Sierra.  They aren't exactly 93  grains, but they're  close  enough. Winchester and  Fiocci  sell loaded cartridges for  it. Winchester and Starline sell 30 Luger brass.  Dies are available  from RCBS, Hornady, and Redding. 
  So, reloading for the 30 Luger isn't  going to be terribly  difficult. 
The 30 Luger case head is the same diameter as  the 9mm Luger, and  the case is the same length,which means  2  things: (1) no  modification of the  gun, other than replacing the barrel  would be needed, and  (2) if Winchester and Starline both discontinued brass  for it, you  could neck  down 9mm brass. 
   I  bet it  would be cheaper to set  up to reload  for it than it would  to rebarrel the  pistol.
