High Priced Original Luger Manual...

This one has me puzzled. A color manual of 1900 and 1902 Lugers. I didn't know that photography had advanced that much at that point in time. Then the book was published in Berlin but was the book printed in English or German? If it was in English then that is one thing. But if it was printed in German, then the cover printing is a lot different from the 1904 navy manual that Heinz and I are working on. Old German is very difficult to interpret. Heinz is really struggling with it. Then Simpson has a Spanish manual for the Borchardt and has it for sale for only $1000. I want to say "FAKE". But then Tom A says that he has one and I am set back on my heels. What am I missing here?
