Advice on Luger purchase requested

Wow!! I just dropped in -- it's 4am here. I doubt that Alex or LA Reporter and myself had any intention of stirring up such a debate over this. When I made my first request for information here, I was very politely welcomed to the forum by John S. and others. It was a pleasure to ask questions and get answers in a respectful and informative way. I soon realised that posts by Either neophites or even experienced people that could not be answered recieved no replies. Sooner or later the ones that were not answered were either rephrased or additional info on the topic was given and they were answered promptly. A hobby needs to constantly grow and attract new people or sooner or later it will die from lack of interest. I doubt anyone here wants to see another banned. My main point when I first answered this thread was to show that a wrong word such as "ignorant or fool" in a new conversation with someone can raise the new person's hackles. I still think nothing bad was intended, just said too strongly to start with. This all could have been avoided just by stating that the individual has no idea (ignorant) of what he has so make sure that you do before you purchase it. Every new luger owner is one more luger that someone learns about, even if it was redone or a true rarity. Sorry if I raised everyones temper with any of my posts. Again, this is a great site and there are very few negative experiences and hope it will stay that way. God Bless.
