Heard there will be a couple of the "mintiest" Commercial presentation lugers with some sort of South American chamber markings available for sale at Reno...not sure if they will be M1900's or M1906's.

Heard this at the recent SOS show in the context of one of the better skilled boosters working nowdays.

Keep an eye out for them and take photos. I am of course, skeptical of those minty lugers...

This was one that was at Reno a couple of years ago on Shattuck's table and even later at the Greg-Martin auction offerings :

I heard from an old timer that this pistol case actually held a hair curling kit in the 1960's time frame...certainly not a presentation, period-correct case.
