Well Robert, I would say that you were lucky. You could have ended up with the phony byf. I sat through the same show for 2 days (sold 4 lugers there) and saw the Luger you ended up with and the G43. The guy with the G43 wanted $2500, or a trade for an unspecified Luger and a P-38. The stock on the G43 is either refinished or an aftermarket replacement. Two of the magazines are original, but are refinished and one of the magazines is a repro. There were also 2 magazine holders and an original factory G43 manual that I hope you got as part of the bargain. Like the other members, I would like to know who you were dealing with, especially because I live in Phoenix too and always like to know who the fakers are.
