Tracy,

As you posted under my post I suppose you were replying to me and I don't believe that anywhere in it was I trying to impose my values on you. I said that I thought it was great that there is a source of shooter grade Lugers out there for those that have been looking for one. Also, I don't condone individuals or dealers refinishing pistols and selling them as original. Where did I even imply that you would ever try to pass your K-Date off as original?

Just bear in mind that everyone collects to satisfy their own interests and if that interest leans toward import marked pistols I think it is great, but by the same token those that prefer the absolute best examples that they can find also deserve the same consideration. There are many types of pistols that I have no interest in collecting, but I don't think that these collectors are out of step just because I don't have any interest in what they collect.

I also think it is great that new information is coming to light, and I believe that most on the forum would welcome this information if you should care to share it.
