If the buyer doesn't know to look inside the sideplate for the correct number, he really doesn't know enough yet to be buying "original" Lugers anyway. If the number inside the sideplate is not correct, the sideplate still isn't matching. If he falls for that he probably won't notice that the pistol has been reblued and the grips re-cut. How can a mismatched sideplate be fakery? Fakery is making $10,000 Lugers out of $600 Lugers, and this is what is giving Luger collecting a bad name; not someone looking for a sideplate with the same last two digits of his serial number.
