When I encounter someone selling inferior Lugers at preposterous prices, I never attempt to "educate" him as to their actual value. More often than not, this seller knows exactly what he has and what it is really worth, and will just send me on my way. This person is a con artist who does not want to deal with informed collectors. He is waiting for that novice to come along who will fall for his line and buy his guns. Unfortunately that happens so frequently that he will continue his nefarious practices no matter what he is told.
