Japanese Mum Luger

"As with the Totenkopf Luger(s), I seriously doubt that anyone in 1959 (or earlier) would have bothered faking a less than $50 Luger...

IMO there must have been at least one with the markings. Maybe not an 'official' stamping, but realistic enough to convince the experts of that period. "

Well, could have been an early Shattuck boost, nothing like taking a $50 pistol and making a $200 pistol out of it!

JMHO.

Did Shattuck ever list or show a 'Mum' Luger to any of his many friends here??? He could have had one of the 'real' Mum Lugers...Or been sold one...

BTW: Jone's pictures show the Japanese 'Mum" Luger as being in the Russ Storer Collection, and shows 'Gesichert' as the safety marking (not 'Rust').
