[Lugers down under]

Thanks for the information Pete,

Apart from the "condition" of the GNR's which I understood claims were made of them being between 75% and 95% I was not ever aware that they were a forced pair and I doubt that any one did until the time of the posts in 2005 (which I had not seen nor was aware of.

Forum members might not be aware that there is a "Sales of goods Act" in New Zealand which provides that if you are unsatisfied with a purchase you have the right of return and refund, replacement or repair with in 3 days.

I saw them first (briefly)in August 2001 after they had changed hands in early 1999. They looked like typical "used" military guns, (which of course they were)

I have no interest in them whatsoever and only mentioned them in the off chance some one was interested as they were coming up for sale.......in fact I now wish that I had never made the post...

The older I get the more naive.

In my next life I think I will be a stamp dealer, beats the hell out of carrying heavy cases of guns to gun shows......but there are fakes in that field to...ain't there.
