Really good synopsis - keep going!!!!!.......
OK - I'm going to leave this unanswered for a while. However.....
For the person who posts what this HK most likely is, and â??whyâ? - I have a Luger commercial wood bottom magazine (in not great shape, but it is original) - that I'll offer as a prize for the best analysis given the photographic evidence on the sellerâ??s website (itâ??s mostly "all there" (it's in the pictures/posts/hints on both the sellerâ??s site and this thread)).
OK â?? to win, you have to post your analysis of what you believe this HK is along with the reasons for your conclusions. Also, please include what you would ask the seller to do/inspect/look at, and why - to verify your analysis based on your empirical evidence?
I'll leave this contest open until Friday night of this week and announce the "winner" this weekend - just to give everyone a chance to participate..
Good luck!
