As a relatively new collector, I like the idea, Mr. Still. [img]smile.gif[/img]

All of the Luger books I have read, especially the Still and Kenyon books, are very helpful to newcomers; but they don't address this subject.

Everything I have learned about fakes, boosted Lugers, rebluing, etc. came from Luger Forum discussions and personal contact with members of the Forum over the last year. This support has saved me from expensive mistakes at least twice in the last few months.

Creating an area where these subjects can be objectively discussed would be helpful. If the issues are handled without names and personalities, we can all learn a lot. I, personally, don't need to know WHO did it or WHO sold it. I want to know what the problem is, how it was done, and how to detect it.
