The problem now is nobody wants anything he had anything to do with. I am sure he had legitimate pieces. But he had so many of his "made ups" his whole collection is suspect. He didn't limit his fakes to just lugers. He also sold fake holsters. From what I understand he didn't need the money. Obviously he just enjoyed pawning off fakes on the unsuspecting. All who met him thought he was a great guy. A wolf in sheep's clothing. He is gone now but his deception will linger in the collecting world for years. Sad. Bill
