David, If you are looking to score your first shooter or minor collectible Luger at a reasonable price I would not be concerned with addressing the sketchiness or fakery concerning Shattuck Lugers. Low end guns generally are not candidates for sketchiness or fakery . It's when you get into the top end collectables and HIGH dollar pistols..then you must be on guard.

I would guess most serious collectors would hesitate to put in print much about Ralph Shattuck, at least in the negative sense.
