There are about 4-5 known...Ralph Shattuck has one, Mike Morris has one and there are a couple of others out there. The "All are fake" statement is controversial to say the least. If you do some serious research, there are several independent sources that attribute a small quantity of Lugers made-actually rebuilt-at the Spandau arsenal.

The story is long and fraught with potential misunderstandings; the sales price on these, when they occasionally come up for sale, is often in the low five figures. So, I guess the question is: Do you feel lucky enough to bet that kind of money that something with ZERO official government documentation is genuine?

I do not.

Hope this helps,

Tom
