Default Obvious Defaced Number

Anyone should be able to look at these two photos that are in the auction and see that the number was intentionally removed.

The perpetrator not only removed the number from the front of the frame, and the bottom of the barrel, but was sloppy enough that he allowed the file or abrasive device that was used to touch the bottom of the barrel where the witness mark is located. See the white spot at the witness mark?

While I do not have a good profile photo of a Luger long frame in the area of the takedown lever, If someone does have a good photo, please post it here and compare it with the one in the auction and you will see the not so subtle change in the normally graceful curve of the front of the frame...

I stand by my evaluation. This gun is bad news. IMHO, this FFL dealer has placed his entire career and reputation in jeopardy.
