Take a look at #6353, it is there just not highlighted. And it is suspected "fake" not "fakes". Can't resist giving you young folks with good eyesight a challenge!

Thanks for pointing 6353 out!

So there've been no duplicate serial numbers, no serials suddenly showing up after 100+ years with no other record of them, no in-boundary M1900 Lugers with suspicious marks usually attributed to other runs???

I would have thought there would be dozens of spoofed Test Trial Lugers in circulation...

I am always amazed at how many 'very nice' ones there are

AND, I would not be surprised if a couple of these numbers could be 'faked' - but it would have to be off of a 1900 - and so a bit harder.
