Interesting discussion. Many good points made.
However, the numbers of boosted and faked Lugers continues to increase. They are a very serious problem for all Luger collectors particularly beginners or the uninformed. Presently this problem is being mostly addressed by gun show rumors, word of mouth, and anonymous experts. If this problem is not addressed by us, out in the open and on this Forum,(and other forms), then who will. Meanwhile the faked and boosted Lugers continue to be produced and sold to fellow collectors.
