As I stated, you never know.

What is known and what is not known of early luger happenings at a depot, or department of the army is unknown. Wanting some proof is not being a naysayer. I doubt many things because i have seen some very nice fakes in the luger world.
1. I have seen a good friend of mine make an exact copy of a ideal stock - almost impossible to tell from an original.
2. I have seen fantasy pieces made for fun, but years later they are touted as real.
3. I have seen a very nice Argentine crest on a luger that we know was faked, and many others like it.

Fakes have been coming out of the wood work for 50 years, they simply have.
I don't think pictures are very hard to master if you want to do it (I am 61, so no, I did not grow up with computers)
