JS: Throwing $500 at the questions about this Luger will not answer them or stop the honest questions from being asked about this Luger.

Harry said: â?? lastly, if this gun is a fake then just about all the others out there could be fakes as well.â?�
JS: I do not understand how the lack of credibility of this Luger affects all the others out there??? Attacking all the other Lugers out is not the road to establishing the credibility of your Luger.

Harry said: â??As collectors, we should all work together to assist in proving-up the unusual.â?�
JS: Why should any honest collector that has serious doubts about this Luger be obligated to prove it up?? Commenting on the questionable aspects of this Luger are as important as the positive. By pointing out the defects members of this forum recently exposed a fake Kreigsmarine K date, with an asking price of $12,000 and helped save a new collector from getting stuck with a fake.

JS: You have ignored the question about the barrel band asked on the other forum. Based on your photographs, the barrel band and front sight appear to be a separate add on to the barrel. I have never examined a DWM manufactured Luger that did not have the barrel band milled from the barrel block.
