Since the 'WTB' exotic forgeries was mentioned in jest I hope no one takes any offense. It is interesting, though, that we often hear the term 'forgery' used but even a poor rework on an inherently valuable Luger does not render it worthless. The problem is that once an original Luger has had a 'restoration' or any rework that renders it 'non-original' it is assumed that it does not have the 'orginal' value. This is not always the case as has been pointed out how much even just a barrel can be worth.
