Presentation Luger pics.

[Marvin]

This Luger definetly was discussed by the membership of NAPCA for almost a 2 year period. The final results was proven that it was a very good fake. Reinhard Kornmeyer of Germany spent many hours researching this pistol and it was proven to be a fake.

After the truth came out, the owners sent a letter to NAPCA, and it was published, complaining how the their "investment" for profit had been lost due to the truth coming out. It appears that they are trying again to pass off a fake and hope folks have forgotten the real truth.

A few of the items that came out in the research was that there was never any Egbert von Papen, and von Ribbentrop would have never given von Papen anything as they hated each other. Also, the pistol started life as a Police Luger and then reworked. Why would a Government Official have a Police Luger reworked as a gift???

Anyway, this is what I remember about this pistol.
