OK - a little insight...


This piece has been hiding in a Northwestern state, since it was handed down from a grandfather. Yes, it is original. No - it is not a "recent" creation from the Mike Krause "werkes". Yes, it is a consignment piece. Yes, Mike now knows of this piece - and no it is NOT one of his creations (ask him - try doing a little research). Yes, it is an original piece. Yes, I'll have a bunch of pics as well shortly. No, it is not a fake - and the Shadow sure "DOESN'T know", in this case (one for the truth rather then speculation - huh, "Shadow"?). Yes - several "noted" authors will be coming in to inspect as well - and do a feature.


Any other questions??? (Gawd - you folks slay me - everything is a "fake" unless you can either afford it, or know of a certain piece first hand. Give me a break. "Collectors" have come to that level? Good for you.)....


Oh - and yes - Ralph, after half a century in the business - should be able to tell a fake. I wish I knew as much about Lugers as he has forgotten...


Just my $0.0000000002
