Imperial proofs

Well, the jury is in.
It seems that I have been able to accomplish what Clint Eastwood suggested at the Republican Convention

A little poorer, and a little wiser, but nobody can purloin my sense of humor.

Many, many thanks to all that helped solve this issue.

My database of weapons now indicate "Spandau Probable Fake".

Final statement: May the fleas of 10,000 Camels infest the crotch of the SOB that faked this gun.

Anybody want to buy some stock in the Brooklyn Bridge?

Best regards to all,

Fred

Cheer up Fred, you are not alone. At least a dozen "Spandaus" were fabricated and some surely reside in the collections of Luger Forum members. I guess they are too embarrassed to own up to them. As President Kennedy famously said, "Victory has a thousand Fathers, defeat is an orphan". Best regards, Norm
