Being Skeptical...
I understand the need to be diligent and very skeptical when a "one of a kind" luger shows up.
But is it appropriate to automatically assume such a carbine cannot be "real" and must have been recently fabricated ?
Is it not possible the largest luger dealer, Mr. Shattuck with his connections, might have actually found such a treasure ?
I am sure this luger would be available for inspection by the "experts" to validate its authencity or to challendge it...
I was just a bit disappointed to read some of the Forum members' responses that assumed it must be a Krausewerk's manufacturer; without first seeing the luger in photos or in person in Peoria...
When a luger is presented on the Message Board for valuation and to determine if it is real or not, we typically always see Forum Members asking for more info. and photos before "passing judgment".
Why haven't some of us extended Ralph this same courtesy ?
