I've learned an expensive lesson:
Advertisement descriptions for Lugers and parts are fairy-tales for grown ups.
(Especially @ ebay )

It's good to be cautious. What MauserLugers described fits one-of-a-kind "supre rare" variations, but this particular S/42 is not a fake from the gound up.

I heard in other collecting world, fakes are common. Statistics says "90% Japanese swords on ebay are fakes". I receive spam emails every month regarding selling of replica watches, or coins (I'm not interested in those, who sold my email address?) But in C&R gun worlds, pure fake is rare according to what I saw. Much more common in C&R is "enhancement".
