Reworks, and the changes in how they are regarded

Kyrie,

Thank you so much for the quality answer. I could not agree more. Luger collecting has changed and is still changing. I believe that you post on this subject and the one ( the fire ant hill that was kicked!) on matching-up Lugers has a valid central theme----Integrity. If a pistol is represented as Factory original...it should be just that not just "look as if it is". IF a pistol is a rework or even battlefield repaired it is still (in most cases) a valid legit collectable Luger and should be represented and preserved for what it is. Again you post was very well stated. BCC
