Any of you guys correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the origins and circumstances of the 'peened area' can be debated until the cows come home without a definitive resolution and that there are really only 3 issues to be dealt with...
1. Is the finish completely original?
2. Are the proofs legit?
3. Have any parts been replaced, remarked, and/or renumbered.
Since the seller described this luger as matching and excellent original finish, if the answer to any of these 3 questions is YES, then the gun was misrepresented. If any of these discrepancies can be independently verified to the seller and he refuses to provide a refund, then a fraud has been perpetrated.
I will be interested in hearing your opinions.
