I mentioned this situation in post #14.
It can and does happen, as I said above- it did to me.

No amount of "explaining" will make it go away if one is caught in the "do loop" of explaining luger serial numbering/models/years/manufacturer to the uninitiated- as in law enforcement or non-collector "civilians".
