2 Mystery Lugers...

John, would like very much to hear your "take" on this 1944 HK as it has stimulated a bit of discussion on Jan Still's Forum. The two issues are the Finnish appearing front sight blade and the wooden magazine bottom. Not only haven't I seen a wooden mag bottom on an HK, but the fonts of the serial number look force matched and the marking below the numbers looks like a "K" overstamping something else. These unusual features raise the question of this HK's authenticity and your opinion, I believe, should be shared.
