Shattuck Lugers?

Hi David, As you may have gathered, the late Mr Shattuck was a somewhat controversial figure. However, that need not concern you. I understand that you are looking for a "shooter" Luger, and since they, by definition are refinished, mismatched, or both, the idea that one could be faked is absurd. I believe Jerry Burney made the same point earlier in this thread. If I were looking for such a gun I would try to find a Vopo Luger. They were assembled from parts, re-barreled and refinished, and are usually superb shooters. They were intended for the East German police and many collectors, myself included, consider them a legitimate variation. They can only go up in value. Regards, Norm
