Shattuck Lugers?

[MikeP]

I bought 5 Lugers from him, early 2000s.

I returned 2.

I kept a 1918 that later I found has renumbered sideplate-old commercial style # still on bottom.
Somebody had dropped it and knocked a chunk out of the rear sight.
Nice holster, but two orig mags with repro bottoms. Sold as "wood bottom mags."

I kept a real nice 1937 rig that I am sure has been reblued. My mistake.

He was quick with the "oops" if you called him, but he banked on guys ignoring "minor" flaws.
High dollar shipping contributed to that.

I saw him at a gunshow and wanted to jerk him up by the throat and shake him.
I just walked on.

Pathetic old man with a lifetime blowing smoke up honest people's 4th point of contact.
A shame as he had so much knowledge and experience.
Overall a bad experience.

I think on the original Luger forum somebody stated "Never completely trust somebody who sells Lugers for a living."

My experience, anyways.
