Shattuck Lugers?

Re the "Persian Artillery Luger" post, it was mentioned that RIA owns the Shattuck Lugers, selling some at May auction...
OK, I've found that the late Mr. Shattuck was a collector/author of Lugers, but didn't find a thread addressing sketchiness or fakery concerning Shattuck Lugers, and since I may be bidding on some lots in this auction, figured I'd better learn something about the implications of this situation.
I've noticed that some of what is offered is described as non-matching--some are Heinz guns--with 57 different serial numbers. But I perceived this as an opportunity to score my first shooter or minor collectible Luger at a reasonable price. Not?
A brief synopsis of the Shattuck Lugers reference by megsdad (Steve) would help me, I think.

Steve, we share a 7/6/* birthday!

Thanks,
David Parker
