Well I waited for the gun to close before replying, $3,650.00 and 18 bids and still did not meet reserve...but that was not my question. Dwight my friend, never a lecture, always a pleasure to bask in your knowledge and analytical light, Herb had about the same experance with a German native who was going to sell me his fathers SS daggers, two way postage to the Col., and he told me I could have sent a picture for him to look because it was such a bad fake.
All I lost was two way postage and gained needed knowledge, that I had no knowledge and leave daggers well enough alone. And you are so right that the experts can only go on what they feel is correct...and that either we will accept or reject the gun, based upon our experances...
Thank you all for opening my eyes a bit more, all the Luger lore is still not uncovered, we must go with caution, but must be willing to go with open eyes, not closed ones. Now when a second gun is discovered....oh well that is for another day....best to each and everyone of you..
