Yes you're right Jerry.
I just think it's misleading as being on the same level as the 1914 DWM. Had I not known from Bob Young that the 1914 DWM is the "holy grail", I would have believed the ad, until I was able to get the opinions of advanced collectors. For the novice, that may not know of this forum, this misrepresentation could potentially lead to a quick sale!!! just my 1 1/2 cents still working on getting up to 2cents!

Anybody who buys without proper research and knowledge is silly. I had something very witty and smart and lost it
even older books have approx numbers of lugers made (as shown above)

Novices should buy books, research and get good info

I have seen several collections where people bought for investment and usually there are pretty and restored guns there....
