P-08 commercial ques

Johnny and Kyrie: I must admit I see both sides of this. While I think the intial intent is innocent enough and the owner might just want to make his Luger look more proper (which I at face value) have to problem with since in his heart he is really not out to "stick" someone! On the other hand when the owner is long gone and the gun is passed down another generation or two, the original part replacement act MIGHT be forgotten , innocently, and then whoever is lucky enough to receive the gun as an inheritance TRUELY believes it is all matching AND original. So a fraud POTENTIally could be in the making. The question arises, how far do we carry this "protection" from fraud? Kyrie believes, if you permit me, in the "no tolerence" aspect of thou shalt not change to make it look better. Johnny feels differently, I think there is room for both opinions, not just "I am right" or "NO....I am right". I think you are both right in your own opinion! My personal problem comes when someone directly does this with the INTENT to defraud. After all, aren't most of our laws geared to intent. Let's continue to disagree if necessary, but lets dont travel the road of too much passion spoiled the issue for both sides. Our two parties of government differs every day but they continue to come back and talk about it day in and day out. Let's hope all involved in this string come back and continue. I respect all opinions as long as they are not overly combative! That is where I for one loose interest because, really, is it worth this approach, it really never works, it just escalates. Nobody wins when that happens, IMO Thor
