Perhaps you should get together with myky and compare Krieghoff's...His is an original, too...

being that i came in here here to inquire about something i can find little info about, and after being condemed so fast,on a pistol i bought, and knowing little about it and something the german kept no records on and probably built on a armoury level, i seriously doubt i will really be comming back in there with the attitude i got. these are not a standard luger, and instead of helping someone, it seems like people here are more interested in pissing people off than trying to help or figure out a mystery

The 'attitude' is skepticism, because, in the past, mechanics have come here with pics of the boosted Luger they are trying to peddle for 4 or 5 times what it would bring if unaltered. They post pics and give a story (always a story!) and solicit opinions.
