Hi Frank,
Glad to hear things worked out. The seller sounded like a nice fellow to resolve matters with...
Since you live in the lower part of our State, you might want to come up to the Reno gun show in the middle of August. Usually 6-10 LF members are there and lots of lugers and luger holsters to see on the selling tables.
Even if one does not buy, you can see many original lugers versus refinished lugers on the tables (and some refinished ones being represented as original). Quite educational...
Quite a cheap way to visit the show and learn about lugers and to meet some very great luger "nuts"...
If you plan to attend, book a hotel ASAP as they go fast and rates get high at the last minute...
We all hang out at tables A-13/A-14 with LF member Russ Withem and his friends. There is usually a dutch-treat steak dinner on Friday night with some lively luger discussions...
Here is the show link :

We usually post a "head count" announcement in the Gunshow section a week or so before the show...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
