Hello Don,

I do not think the AM article by Frank Allan and Mr. Who (?) indicated Harry actually was forging Japanese lugers. I think the allegation was that Harry may have "doctored up" a photo to create a new "variation".

If, and I say a big "if", the story is true; maybe Harry's intentions were honorable and he was just testing the luger community and the cottage industry of guys that tinker/doctor up lugers. Maybe Harry's intent was to "create" the impression of an authentic Japanese luger to confirm his suspicions that such lugers would start to appear in the market place where none had appeared before...

I regret even mentioning this AM article on the Luger Forum, at all. You should see the "hate mail" I am getting...

I will just wait for this thing to continue in AutoMag over the next few issues...

Good to hear from you and I appreciate your thoughtful posting on the Luger Forum...

Best regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
