HELP! NAZI SS Luger or Fake???

MP38 · 03-04-2005, 04:41 PM

I would just like to add my .02 to this.
One rule I live by, and this goes for all WWII collectables, not just lugers or pistol in general.
That rule is this: "Always buy the item, don't buy the story!"

This gun is an obvious fake, but he sold you on the story!
I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think you have a legal case here either. You did recieve something in trade for your Dutch luger. Even though it wasn't an even trade, you still agreed to it at the time. Therefor, I don't believe you have the right to re-claim you Dutch luger, and cetainly don't have the right to claim his G43.

Also, for the gentleman that stated earlier in this thread that he doesn't think any WWII German firearm ever had SS or DH markings on them, I would like to point out than many SS rifles were re-works, and many of them did have SS and DH markings on them!
