I contacted the seller and he agreed to allow a return for a full refund. I did that today and the transaction was smooth and friendly.

I posted a like response on the gunboards.com/luger forum and added my call for a CD based book updated with better color pictures and variations. Such an undertaking may very well be the project of luger collectors associated with these forums. At any rate, an updated reference is badly needed. AT least by me, and I would venture to say some others as well.

Most the references available seem to be 30 plus years old or in the coffee table category. A CD can hold a lot of information, indexed in many different ways. And it certainly needs to address methods of detecting refinshes, copys, alterations, etc. And a CD based book would avoid the high costs associated with publishing a traditional book.

Thanks to all who offerd input and support.

But just to be safe, I am reading "Power Poker" by Doyle Brunson.
