To all,
I strongly agree that the name of the shop in question should have been communicated in a private e-mail rather than posted publically. Why? Read the above postings carefully. mm states that if there is something wrong with this particular Luger it would call all that he has learned from the guys over to Krausewerkes into qustion. Another posting implies that the store may be knowingly selling "bad" pistols i.e.passing off guns which have been reworked as originals, in order to make a buck. All of these ideas and a few others are associated with the name of a certain store and seller which have done nothing wrong so far as anyone knows and at worst can be accused of having made a mistake about a particular gun. A lot of people have made mistakes about particular guns, some well known experts in fact.
Seems to me the boys over to Krausewerke have acted honorably. When questioned about a certain gun they have invited other opinions. You cannot do better than that.
In the interest of full disclosure I have bought, sold and appraised guns with Krausewerke. They do not gouge on prices and have often spent their own unpaid time looking up information on particular guns for me. I have known them to be honest and when they have made mistakes to rectify them. This latter part is the true gage by which any "experts" opinion can be measured, not that they are always right but what they do when they are wrong.
