Hi Tom,

As we both know, not everyone is into Lugers as deeply as others are. You and I have spent an ungodly amount of time studing and learning and picking up tricks to tell what is what. These new guys haven't and there isn't many that are sharing first hand what to look for. --- We both know that there are some exception fakes out there that are capable of fooling a lot of experienced collectors, let alone the novice collectors. When this stuff is made purposely to fool you, and it is that good, all we can do is to help each other to learn the real ones from the made up ones. Sharing names and characteristics is the key. All of us can be fooled, and most of us have been, that is why some of us are so concerned about this subject. Take care good buddy, -- bill m
