Pete,
You state that the Swiss Navy Luger thread was deleted/censored by you as moderator because â??I do not want the forum to be used to possible degrade the buyers guns value and likewise to impune the sellers reputation.â? John S. and John D. commended your action. This policy favors the seller and I could not disagree more.

Fakes/replicas are a serious business to most collectors. Private E- mails between long time collectors and new collectors concerning the 1916-1917 dated Navy Lugers have been circulating. They leave no question that these Lugers are replicas. It is not a matter of speculation or a gray area. It is apparent that large numbers of these fake Navy Lugers were made.

Experienced collectors establish that the correct 1916-1917 dated Navy Lugers have the large flange pin with their postings on this thread. Apparently you give no credit to the long time collectors that posted on this thread and were not on the routing list for these private E-Mails. If you gave credit to long time collectors or were on the routing list, perhaps you would not be excusing these fake Lugers with wild speculation about â??the German war machine screaming for lugersâ? or â??frenetic productionâ? or â??regular Navy parts bins being emptyâ?.

Private E-Mails that trash a dealer or a luger do a disservice to both the dealer and Forum members. It is not fair to the dealer because he has no opportunity to defend himself and its unfair to the rest of the members because they will not know about the bad dealers or the bad Lugers.

Its my opinion that private E-Mails (concerning bad dealers and faked Lugers) should eventually be made public to benefit all the Forum members.
