Fake Krieghoff on GB
 

Good lord, but this faker had to have an IQ lower than the caliber of the gun! He obviously did not even bother to consult a reference book when concocting this rare piece. Krieghoff fake


Notice the uniform stamping of the letters.

To his credit the seller is calling a spade a spade.

Doug, What a shame! He, or someone, has defaced what looks like a fine Mauser commercial with no proofs on the right receiver.

Someone should rescue this thing....

Doc,

If you go to the Gun Broker link, one photo shows a vertical C/N on the left side receiver...imagine this was a 'sanitized" DWM 1920's commerical...wonder if the serial numbers are intact...?

Would there be an instance where a (notoriously?) faked Luger might have more value than the gun it ruins?

Just a thought. I doubt that it would make much sense to restore it back to original, considering it would already be significantly devalued.

Lablover is trying to take someone for a ride! I knew that I had seen this gun for sale earlier. He bought it on Auction Arms for $595 last month. :soapbox: I emailed him the following today. I will see if he responds.
Auction Arms apparently does not allow you to link to a closed auction. Do a closed item search for this number 6839152

Here is the response given.

DOUG I BOUGHT THE GUN WITH THE PURPOUS OF HAVE IT CUSTOM ENGRAVED LIKE THE
1918 DWM I HAVE FOR SALE. BUT THE LETTERING ON THE SIDE IS REALY DEEP SO IT
WOUNT WORK FOR ME. THE GUN IS A LOT NICER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO I
PUT A HOLSTER I HAD WHIT IT AND PUT IT BACK FOR SALE. I WILL HAVE TO BUY A
DIFFERANT GUN TO WORK ON.
THANKS DEAN
