Eric,

Jurisprudence generally depends on best evidence... I think it's similar to collecting Lugers in this way.

Unless I miss my guess, this pistol was purchased form a well-respected, experienced, studied collector. Making a call about a pistol's authenticity really depends on the evidence available at the time the call is made. If it was misidentified, it would more likely have been because of the evidence available for doing so than an attempt to profit unscrupulously.

Maybe any really "new" info or data about Lugers is appearing in the community at a decreasing rate, but it still happens.
