No, you are correct. I would be afraid to spend this much money without seeing good photographs in advance too. However, I have another problem: I just do not know enough about these high-end specimens to know whether they are legitimate or not. Since I purchased one DWM 1915 artillery from this seller, he did ask me if I was interested in this Persian Luger too. So he did send me some more photographs before he ever listed it on
www.gungroker.com. I would be glad to share these additional photographs with you, because I genuinely desire to learn more. If you would like to see them, it would be easier for me just to Email you the entire file. I seem to have a terrible time posting photographs, and I have a very slow telephone modem connection too. I would sincerely appreciate the benefit of your experience and insights, especially if you would like to see more photographs of this specimen. Or if you think I should try to post more here, please let me know what area or areas you would like to see, and I will try to post them.
Thank you, Ron
