Mike,
yes, revshop also does business as Midwest Firearms in Minn. Over the years there has been a lot of discussion reguarding this dealer. My unofficial opinion is that he does a lot of retouching of guns to make them look pretty. I looked at another gun that he has for sale

This is supposedly a chamber dated 1914 DWM rig. I cannot see the serial numbers on the gun. The small picture of the gun makes it look nice. But I think that Jerry Burney would get a laugh at the holster and the mag pouch and there is no mention of the manufacturer or date on them. Pretty new looking for a 90 year old gun. The "matching" stock does not have a proof mark on the side and the wood looks pretty new to me. I cannot see the serial numbers on it either. Again, in my unofficial opinion, he wants some new big bucks ($5,000+) for some equally new gear. For that kind of money, I would want to see some more pictures of this 'rare' Luger. Forget the pictures of all the leather. I already have an opinion of that.
