Hugh,
Congratulations on having picked up a Vickers. They are really neat, I think everybody should own one. Well, at least 6,000 of us...
I agree about leaving well enough alone. Vickers--all Dutch Lugers--had a hard life, and were re-arsenaled often. The Thai marks just add to this. I would say that yours can be considered uniquely authentic.
Are there GS marks on it anywhere, and have you found out any marks inside the grips?
And, its about time for you to pick up your copy of "The Dutch Luger". If I haven't gotten the idea across yet, I'm thrilled for your acqusition.
--Dwight
