Re: KRAUT OFFICERS
I agree wholeheartedly! We (myself included in this group), tend to be very negative, especially when it comes to others and their property. Ralph is indeed my friend Ralph Shattuck. As I stated in a previous thread, ANYTHING WAS POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE IN THE FORMER GERMANY. It does'nt make EVERTHING bad or negative! Yes the factory could indeed have placed an insignia in a set of grips without being killed for treason. GI's had allot more on their minds than how someone else 80 years later would judge their war trophies. I like capture papers w/ a gun. Some don't. They can choose not to buy guns with capture papers or even at their discretion throw them in the garbage. Ralph is if nothing else a TOP AUTHORITY on Lugers. I trust him and will continue to solicit his advice when warranted. You don't have to. Until ol' Georg or August Weise comes back to life, it's the best we got!
Best Regards, (I mean it)
Tim
