Thank you Marc for posting the Mittleman article from 1965. More current authors are skeptical regarding Spandau Lugers. The authors in every publication that I have advise the reader to beware of Spandau Luger fakes Many of the experts believe that all Spandau Luger are fakes.

The Mittleman article states that the Spandau Luger number 985d is a fake. I have a Spandau Luger number 6276b. The markings on my Spandau are similar to Mittleman's number 985d.

I have not been fortunate to examine any Spandau Lugers except mine. However my Spandau was presented as a fake and was priced accordingly. I was pleased to acquire my Spandau. How often do you see any Spandau Lugers?
