capture papers and documents
 

Hey guys........after reading through some of the boards ( I havn't been very active in the Forum ) I see some negative posts on the capture papers raising the prices on the accompanying guns. I would like to say that all the documents I have are free for the taking to those who have guns that came from my collection. I found the large box in one of my storage places and just want to try to give the correct papers to the present owners. I know some of the guns have traded hands, but I somehow hope that a few might find the right papers. I will try to find time to go through the box and list the serial #'s on the papers and post them to the Forum. That's gonna take some time though.........just bear with me...............Mike

Mike, I personnaly find the capture papers as great, and a real part of history. The problem is that they can be faked. I have .jpg on my hard drive that is an exact copy of the real ones I have seen, and if I had old paper could print them out and age them... That is why people are leery and of course I would never do anything like that, and don't understand those that do?

And Mike, if any matched the guns I have bought over the last few years (but not from you... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )

Understood Ed.......but would it be worth all that trouble ( finding old paper, ageing it, etc.) be worth the 50 bucks that they would add to the price of the gun ??? Anyway, what I have are free, so I personally would not realize any gain, monetary or otherwise...( smile )..Mike

Mike, I too believe it isn't worth the effort for those sham artists! :D

And think your gesture is what this hobby is all about!

Hats off to you, <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[king]" title="" src="graemlins/r.gif" />

Thanks for the compliment Ed.......I've got all the serial numbers and thier history for the last 40 years here in front of me now. I'm going to go into microsoft word and detail the numbers then post it to the forum for you guys to peruse to see if I have anything of use.......many, many serial numbers of Lugers,Walthers and P 38's that I bought and imported through the years. Thanks again guy..........Mike

For anyone interested in phony paperwork that is trying to be passed off as real from a computer..
The easiest way is to use a 10X jewelers loupe and look for matrix in the type...A sure giveaway.

Just to let you guys know...I will be posting Mike's serial number list as soon as I can find time...
