Friendlyfred re-opened his thread; I merely corrected a bad link to the 3-page Spandau discussion from 5 or so years ago...Ed said not to discuss it in the For Sale forum, so here is a chance for additional discussion...
I, for one, believe in Spandau Lugers...I don't think they are worth $30K, but that's just because I'm cheap...
I have to wonder at the statement that a "Spandau toggle die" was found...Have you even tried to stamp steel??? It is not easy to stamp a nice deep single letter, much less seven at once, plus a graphic...I believe that *IF* such a thing was done [to wit; stamp a blank Luger toggle with such a graphic + letters], it would require either a hydraulic press or a pile-driver-like implement, like those used in drop forging...You couldn't just whack it with a BMFH...
