Re: A General Question for Those Who Know
Hi Bill,
Post Great War (and early Weimar Republic) Germany was pure chaos. Entire cities went Socialist, there were a number of private and semi-private wars fought, assassination was a common form of political expression, and many German interests did their best to confuse, befuddle, and generally evade the watchful eyes of all the Commissions established by the Versailles Treaty to implement the provisions of the Treaty (â??Chaos is Godâ??s gift to the ambitious manâ?).
A Great War Luger without the â??1920â? property stamp is nothing more than a Luger without the property stamp. We have no way of knowing why it lacks the stamp. It could be a bring back (from any time beginning with the date on the Luger to today), a 1920 Commercial that was not stamped â??Germanyâ?, the personal property of a German immigrant, or something else entirely. At this point in time there is just no way of knowing :-(
Best regards,
Kyrie
