John Sabato,
if Stars Borchardt never had a stock lug on it, I would NEVER suggest that someone try to put one on. Until someone of Ron Woods qualifications inspected it and decided one way or another, I would just leave it alone. There just might be something historically unique about her gun. I don't know where Star is from, but I sure would like Ron Wood to, physically, look it over. Ron Wood, Have you physically seen the #19 Borchardt that Juliaauction is selling? Your explaination sounds logical given the current amount of counterfeiting going on within the Luger ranks. But I just can't understand why someone would do it to this particular gun. Its expensive enough as is. I'm not challenging, just stunned. The pictures in the auction just are not good enough to see if the gun has been altered. Maybe gun #27, mentioned in Walters book, might shed some further light. Walters book shows some pictures of that pistol. Unfortuately, the pictures do not address the current discussion. The pictures were taken by Colonel W. Reid Betz, John M. Browning Museum. Does this pistol now reside in that museum? Where is that museum? Great discussion everyone. Big Norm |
