In the 60's when lugers were much cheaper and more commonly found in original condition, some were distained by collectors.
Some of these included unit marked and "double dates" also Erfurts for their crudeness.
At the bottom of the heap were the late nazi guns with the cheapo grips and the crude looking black finish.
A major dealer coined the phrase "Black Widow." I think originally this referred to the '41s.
The fish bit and the beat goes on.
