Without a legitimate paper trail, the possession of this firearm in the USA would be a federal offense. I would advise all parties to stay away from this Luger. The original serial number on the frame in front of the trigger guard has not only been "defaced" within the definition used by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), but has been completely replaced by a non-original number...
The only way this can happen is to have BATFE written authorization to replace the serial number... without this piece of paper, you have no idea how the serial number was altered or why... This gun could have easily been used in a crime.
Be afraid... be very afraid...and stay away from this gun.
