Wha..???
 

Ethiopean Chamber of Commerce..????......man I gonna jump right on that... :roflmao:

located in new jersey?

Ethiopians in Pennsauken; does Haile Selassie know about this??? :eek: :D

One of my handguns came from the Cross Roads Gun Shop; I don't know if they're still in business...I know I used to see the Pennsauken exit sign on my travels to Philly or Carlisle/Gettsyberg, but never visited...

Here is another one for your discussion.

I guess the blank chamber Lugers are getting harder to find...So put the cartoon on the side...Wouldn't want to scrub the date off... :rolleyes:

ECCSA was an importer that was located in Pennshauken, New Jersey. I don't think they are still in business.

BTW, FWIW, I lived in Ethiopia for a year a few decades back... and I didn't see a single Luger while I was there...

...???...And you wonder why I delete my posts??? :rolleyes:

Picture #4 is quite interesting...

Photo #4. Beretta?

Yes.

Except for the spurious Death's Head, it looks like a fairly nice 1940/42.

Way to ruin a nice collectable.

No Rich I don't wonder... since repetition is the way many folks learn.

In this case the decongestants I am taking so I can breathe have made me a little loopey... my reading retention is a very short time span at the moment.

No deletion is required when you are my age anyway... you just forget you read or did something...:cheers: :roflmao:

Are there any original ones?

No

Ya know, my piece is a '40 42 - where's MY death's head? :D

Of course. :)

Do a Search here for 'death's head' and 'totenkopf', that should bring up several long threads and a banned member or two... :D

Deaths Head Lugers, Russian Contract Lugers, and Spandau Lugers are all real...And thought provoking... :thumbup:

Ron and all:
Look at the 3 acceptance marks and the 1 TK on the right side of the receiver. All the Eagle 655's and bird look extremely fresh, straight, even, etc. Unusually perfect, even finish with bluing in each line, each line at an even depth. etc.
Assumng that this is post-war skulduggery, how do you think that was done? Was this whole thing welded up and restamped with bogus (sharp) stamps, reblued, etc?
I'm not trying to put anyone on the spot, but I'm trying to learn not only to spot a fraud, but to understand the processes used to manufacture it.
Thanks for indulging me...

I'm not that much of an expert but to me those marks look far too good to be true!

...Ouch... :D
