Pete,
I figured that you would make good use of Mr. Allens original discussion of the Mum Luger. Because of its documentation, I feel that it carries a bit more authority than his second discussion in AutoMag. The bottom line is that Lugerheads should not spend big bucks on a 'rare' Luger without doing a heck of a lot studying first. We all work too hard getting that money just to spend it on a counterfeit.
Maybe what you should do is post the four different styles on Mum Lugers that Mr. Allen drew in his article. I also noticed that all the Mum Luger pictures had different serial numbers. This suggests that someone had a sort of assembly line going. This was not a one shot thing. So the Japanese characters and the Mums would all look the same.
