Hebert,

I think it would be a marvelous idea to send your luger up to Alaska !!! Please let us know what you and Jan Still decide...

To help me understand the "fake and forgery" business, I do have the following question/comment :

If this 1914 "q" luger is not "real", why would a forger go to all this trouble and make a really good, very dificult-to-spot fake and then blow it by using a suffix that draws so much attention to itself ?

This craftsman must be both very talented and not very smart if he/she won't even follow "established" serial number and suffix ranges that are published in such great books by Jan Still and others.

Of course, if this craftsman is reading the Forum, he/she may be ordering some books right now... [img]eek.gif[/img]
