Tom, I have a general question for you. I am sure you know way more than most of us as far as spotting fakes, reblues, redone Lugers, etc. Out of say 100 Lugers you look out at gunshows how many would you say are "buyable" based on being a richteous original gun in good condition? I think the answer is important to beginning Luger collectors/buyers to understand that most Lugers have some "baggage" after all they are old and have been through so many hands. Again, this enforces the adage that knowledge of markings, history, and "sales pitchs themes" are of paramount importance. Thanks! <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />
