I need help with this one~ What is considered a restored as opposed to a just a reblued or reconditioned. How is value diminshed by a tiny replacement such spring that was broken and replaced in battle? How does a replacement part affect it value and originality. An Erfurt on the other hand has just about every part individually proofed. A replacement numbered spring can be noticed while a replacement on a DWM won't be as it isn't marked! What is meant by 100% complete~ This one seems the most troublesome! I'm aware a mutual mistake is fine unless the seller misrepresents or misleads the guns' condition!! Generally what part is most prone to breakage~~This is why I purchased a shooter from George Anderson who made me aware of fireing an all correct historically significent luger over a hundred years old is stupid! There could never be a luger blue book as lugers unlike most are truly individual like personalities and history. Each unique and most have their own individual story and are therefor unique in themselves. Starting from a couple of hundred dollars to almost one million and everywhere in between~ Eric
