So, Ron is a "type 3" safety the long checkered one? thats the one I thought this gun should have, but I thought that it would be called a Type 1....but hey, but I knew the grip safety was wrong :-)

My apologies!!! I hit the "I" one too many times. A Type II is the short checkerd safety, the Type III is the short grooved safety. Thanks for pointing out my goof and you were right on with your original comments about the thumb and grip safetys.

Hi Tom, Albert is not the serial spammer who was just shown the door. He is a long time member of both forums and is very knowledgeable about early Lugers. He is just having an off day. Regards, Norm

Oh no, Albert is very polite and sane compared to this L. Argo guy; that guy has written me numerous times via the admin email (Jan Stills forum) on what a jerk I am on the luger forum (this one).

Alberto is just rude and believe's that other folks are not very smart, however, I must point out to all you who claim to be ignorant and stupid, that only two people had written before Alberto made his normal remarks. Me and poor David.

And Albert, I do look and consider before I write, this was an obvious restore, the color was totally wrong, the grips wrong, just the feel of it. And remember that I many times say, that to be careful; that judging from a few pictures does not always tell the truth.
Well, to my eye, it was wrong instantly, and unsure why you took a contrary position of immediately saying it was a most likely a 99-100% gun. That is a leap of faith that astounded me.
