FFL in Western Washinton

[BW2723]

Thank you so much.
I appreciate your reply but can't for the following reasons:
The luger that I'm interested in purchasing is not in my possession at this time. Its offered for sale over the internet. I don't feel comfortable using the sellers pics w/o his permission nor do I want to advertise his gun on the forum which would undercut my position.
I've learned a great deal so far from your forum. I sold off much of my gun collection this past year because I really enjoy the history and feel of lugers. I've spent hours reading your posts so that I can make good decisions about which lugers are right for me- thats another story.
One of the more important lessons learned from your forum is how a buyers greed can "color" his choices. It can be extremely difficult determining whether or not a gun has been re-blued or reconditioned especially when it looks so good in your hand!!! Furthermore, trying to recover the loss of a collectable is daunting in our legal system. I don't know much about buyers rights or internet fraud but most buyers just seem to accept their loss and move on.
So thats why I'm looking for a "pro" to help me out. I would prefer having a professioal opinion before a purchase rather than afterwards. With only three days to examine a purchase that would mean a "pro with an FFL".
I'm sure there is someone in Washington State who knows more about collectible Lugers than I do.
Someone on the wet side.
Yours truly- BW
