Whoever buys it should engrave crossed lugers onto a mosin nagant to complete the set.

Leaving aside the great Russian/Bulgarian debate for another time, I'm amazed at how many really questionable Lugers are in this one collection - a veritable Luger rogues gallery! It's also disturbing that a previously highly respected auction house, like Greg Martin, would participate in this charade. It's probably no coincidence that GMA is holding this sale in Las Vegas. Regards, Norm

As discussed here, Hermann Historica sold a Singer M1911A1, SN S800208, for 17,000 Euros + 23% as Lot 1050 in their latest auction. Numerous knowledgeable collectors in this forum have expressed doubts about the authenticity of this pistol. I reported this discussion to Andreas Lackner of Hermann Historica. In response, Andreas contacted the highest police department in Munich (Landeskriminalamt Bayern) to authenticate the questionable Singer under X-ray. In the wake of this development, Franz Hermann of Hermann Historica informed me that after re-examining the pistol very carefully and concluding that the popular opinion on the web forums seems to be correct, Hermann Historica informed the buyer and cancelled the invoice for this item.

Do we have any volunteers for replicating this procedure with Greg Martin Auctions?

I'm sorry, Alf, my New Year's resolution was to never discuss Russian Lugers again. Someone else will have to answer your question. Regards, Norm.
P.S. If you have time on your hands, you can read this.
