Eric,

I did not say the whole (Russian) article or his web site were wrong, instead I was meaning that his source(s) of information are wrong and the way he puts together a story. A serious collector cannot only use 'millimeters, degrees and graphic illustrations (i.e. chamber markings and images from literature)' to reach conclusions about certain Lugers. Most of the information on his web site is based on technical measurements, some random photos, a few letters and obsolete data. He hardly - if any - mentions the highest standards of workmanship at the DWM factory or any thing about German heritage.

When I study a subject, whether it is products from DWM, Mauser or Walther factory, I consider more important factors such as what influenced changes from the international markets and the politics behind it - where CW is often lacking. I also have an enormous archive from where I can also obtain my research and knowledge. Furthermore, I make a big effort to even visit collectors in other foreign countries to personally listen to their input and examine their collector items when CW has probably never traveled outside of the US. His method of 'education' is quite lame and narrow-minded.
