The "Asterisk" Again

[bill m]

Viggo,

This is my last post on this subject. You are entitled to your opinion and I to mine. You are not going to change my opinion on this subject with your high tech lingo and definitions of what a theory is. According to you, a theory is a story, which everyone is suppose to accept as possible, probable, or even fact, unless one can proof it not to be. That is totally ridicious. You prove your own theory and convince me with proof that it is correct. It is easy to speculate and give a good line of BS, and then not back up any of it. Most people call that a con!


The theory was the "*" on the barrel of a Luger. Fact, -- it is only on the barrel -- Fact, it is mainly found on 1940/42's. -- Speculate why that is, and why it is not found on many, if any, 42 byf's? -- Fact, it is not on any Banner's -- Speculate why that is? Why not on any M1934's or HsC's? Speculate on that? Those are facts that put a big hole in the theory of the mighty SS marking forced labor weapons. But naturally, you'll just say that the forced labor was not on those production lines -- yeah right! Part of this is using common sense. Part of it is having enough Lugers to examine. Part of it is good data.


Opinions were asked for and I repeated what I was told by some of the major collectors. If you want to argue, contact them and argue with them.


Viggo, I'm going to give you a little advice on Luger collecting. With an attitude like you have on "a theory", and "speculating", you're going to get taken to the cleaners big time. There are lots of real cheaters out there that will tell you anything and try to put over just about anything to make a sale. You better have some FACTS, and EVIDENCE, and KNOWLEDGE of how things really should be. Speculating on a theory just doesn't cut it.


I'm done with this. Believe what you want. Go argue with someone else. It's been fun, to say the least.
