Faked, refinished and boosted Lugers.

Some of the older members of NAPCA may remember a discussion of a Norweigian M/1914 shown in AutoMag with waffenampts. The pistol was right at the end of the cutoff for waffenampt pistols, but it just so happened that the previous owner of the pistol was also a NAPCA member and by the serial number knew the pistol had previously belonged to him. The present owner absolutely stated that the pistol was waffenampt when he bought it, and the original owner absolutely stated that the pistol did not have waffenampts when he owned it. It is very easy to believe the owner who said it was not waffenampt, so this pistol by serial number became a marked commodity. Who is to blame? Who knows; but at least there is public data on this pistol with the fake markings.
