My Good Friend, and resident Biker and Vietnam Vet, bought a beautiful 1939, s/42 serial number, '112 the suffix resembles an 'a', I was taking beautiful closeup that I would, with your help publish. Then there in pretty minute letters, hidden under the running bar, that dreaded few words, 'COL____ST _____VILLE, KY' He never noticed it, and is now looking at an otherwise, amost beautiful piece, thinking she a virgin, now not knowing what its value should be. I would like your advice, what, if any do it detract from the lugers' value? Which brings to the question, is a seller obligated to point out an Import Marking, I know the answer legally, but morally may be another case. Back to my question, what persent, if any should the piece be discounted. Im sure a few of you are pulling out your gems, I welcome your opinions, Eric, JD
