It's a great question.....

Since I get asked to verify a certain species of Lugers on a regular basis (which is a whole 'nother question - "how do you tell a new owner what they just bought is boosted/wrong/counterfeit..")...

Anyway - I try to gauge the attitude of the person I'm talking to... If they seem like an honest person, I'll start asking them why "this is like that..", or based on mine - I can see that this is dfferent... Anyway - I never tell them "I KNOW it's fake", rather - I believe it's not correct based on what I've seen or have....

The second type of seller I've run in to knows it's bogus - and they know I know. I just walk away and make a mental note...

Great topic...!
