Re: Persian Luger (?) - Long!
.. I apologise if I sometimes seem sarcastic. Not being a collector - and living this side of the Atlantic, it very often astonishes me how gullible collectors, and how similar the victims of a scam and the perpetrators often are. Whatever the value and authenticity of the Persian Luger under discussion may possibly be, the immediate Pavlovian reaction to an unsubstantiated and somewhat farfetched story sets a price tag of 20.000$! A potential purchaser could even be referred to the Forum, where he would be confronted with glowing testemomials.
On the other hand, the same collectors clamour for protection against fraudulently stamped magazines and other practices that are quite simple to spot if the purchaser is not blinded by the desire to make a quick profit on the basis of very meagre Luger lore - whether it�´s authentic or not.
But maybe the only way to learn about anything is to be taken for a ride by someone else who has also learned the hard way.
That�´s why I sincerely hope that the Persian Luger achieves the 20.000$ mark.
