Hi,A few days ago we had a discussion about Dealers/Fakes/Enhanced condition and just plain what does it mean by:Excellent/98% condition etc.I have been on a long vacation and have been searching for lugers to add to my collection.I have recently ,in the last week looked at quite a few pistols.I would like to tell you my findings.If a dealer advertises excellent condition,98%,excelent bore and grips and you find 90% condition and replacement stocks I get a little bit perturbed.I think the difference between 98% and 95% can be a matter of opinion.Therefore the difference between 98% and 90% and any unmatched or refinished parts can be false advertisement.There are some great dealers and collectors out there but;I don't care how nice he is if I send it back it costs me if I travel to see it,it costs me also.I don't like the "don't worry I'll make it good;if you don't like it" guy when its my SHIPPING COSTS.Thanks
