I have made some more inquiries and the responce is as follow:
Quote.
This luger came from Florida. I purchased it from a wealthy collector here in Minnesota who lives there in the winter, summers in a VERY affluent part
of Minnesota. He has been a serious colllector for a long, long, time. He buys and sells only top quality pieces. His friend owns and operates a WWII collector's business in the Naples, Florida area.
They both are on the lookout for quality pieces every day. To put it simply, they do this for a living, and have done so, for a long time. As you are probably aware, a lot of retires live in Florida, and these WWII vets are dying off at a rate of about 1,000 per day. I guess the world's loss is a collector's gain.
I appreciate your genuine concern regarding the authenticity of this piece. I would feel the same way. Also, understand, I KNOW what I've got. And am willing to sit on it for the right price.
I get the feeling that this item is out side my current bank account having just bought the Borchardt .
I will post some photos and then leave it to you guys.
