1945 Hk # 13069...

Pete Ebbink · 12-09-2005, 10:44 PM

Gibson seemed to think this one was pretty real and authentic back in the early 1990's (if one believes the "testimonial" write up provided with the auction sales ad...).

Does one conclude, now, that this one was totally refinished since the Gibson assessment and is now totally a restoration piece...or is this a newly, "made-up" 1945 that someone foolishly (or purposely) used a duplicate # 13069 upon...???

Tom A./John D., What do you guys see that you do not like...other than maybe finish...???

One pretty advanced collector on the new NAPCA web site (for members only) has indicated that he believes there are actually no true, authentic 1945 HK's in existance...and religates the 1945 HK's in the same company as the Spandau lugers...

What is a new collector or the luger student to think...???
