Forced matching

[Lugerdoc]

I agree with many of the points made above. It's unfortunate that we can't standardize out terms in this area. Here are the ones that I would use: "matched up" -- one or more parts interchaged with an original numbered part from the same manufacturer or the same period. Just putting a part from a different period and/or die set would not qualify. "Force matched" -- newly renumbered. "Restored" original numbers or proofs recut and/or PROFESSIONAL refinished back to the original type. "Reblued" -- no attempt to match original type metal work or finish. "unethical" --- the addition of proofs or other markings that were not there originally. "Fraud" -- attempting to sell the later as original. Lugerdoc
