Hello,

Location, location! Sounds like a real estate sales line, but it has a lot to do with an imported gun`s value. Years ago, I had nice Lugers imported from Germany by Simpson Ltd. I talked to them about the markings and location (now, this was 17 years ago). They worked with me and the Simpson Ltd. marking was electro pencilled in the magazine well--invisible from any outside viewing. This kept the gun`s high value. I think there was a change in that rule from the AFTE in subsequent years with the import marks to be placed outside of the gun and stamped as well. Now, the value is lowered considerably. If I am wrong, I surely would like to hear from someone who knows more about this than I.
