Jan good input. I have a concern about an honest and trusted gun show seller that has little knowledge about Luger's in particular. He may have been the victim of a 'booster' without knowing it. He honestly presents the Luger as he knows it to be, feeling that he is presenting it as an all original or whatever, and the purchaser later finds that it is a fake. Who is the victim in a case like this, does this make the vendor dishonest, or also a victim in the transaction? I feel that a vendor, someone that does not specialize in Lugers and buys and sells for profit is not necessarily an informed individual in the area of Lugers. The final decision to buy has to be made by the buyer armed with all of the information that is avaiable. This forum is one of those tools that will help, but it is difficult to take the forum to the gun show. Buyer Beware! A theif might steal all of your possesions, but he can never steal your knowledge.
