Many Luger dealers make every effort to sell correct Lugers. Its my experience (and that of many long time collectors) that a few sellers are the source of most bad Lugers.
Many long time collectors dont buy from these dealers that constantly sell bad Lugers. Some big time dealers wont waste their time examining for sale collections if the source of that collection is these few bad sellers.
I really dont understand how these sellers of bad Lugers stay in business. I would suspect that an important part of their trade is closet and new collectors.
In my opinion ignoring the source of the bad Lugers ignores a big part of the problem.
I think that it would be interesting to ask the membership, how many years have they been collecting and what dealer/dealers do they most trust to buy from.
