Hi,

Marvin states that this pistol does have a serial number on the left receiver, 15xx. Doesn't that kinda throw a monkey wrench in this whole thing? If there are supposedly 200 plus, isn't 15xx kinda high? You mention some might have a serial number, and if so, what is the serial range?

Without any documentation, and no way to check from the vet, couldn't this very well be a recent assembled Luger? There are parts floating around that are in the white, so that really doesn't mean anything.

From a collector standpoint, how can one convince other collectors that this is an actual Krieghoff assembled Luger, which would have special value, and not just a recent assembled shooter?

I hope this gun is something special and that it can be proved so, but as it stands now, we just have a nice story which makes it sound like a special Luger. We have to all be suspicious of these stories as just about everyone has one, and usually they can not be verified. Again, I hope this is something special and can be proved as such, but it sounds pretty suspicious to me at the moment. Good Luck and best wishes.
