Prototype's dies

Hi,
Really do not know much about these early Lugers, but do have a question. Just why is it that all the recent "one of a kind" Lugers that have "mysteriously just dropped out of the sky" have all been in almost mint condition? And why is it that there is no paper trail or trail of any kind to help varify these? They always seem to come as a walk in or was stuck in a cabin in some remote place for the last 100 years. One last point, these owners of these pieces sure can keep a secret or keep there mouth shut as apparently they never showed them to anyone and in turn rumors have never surfaced about any of these rare pieces. -- I have no idea whether these are real or not, but the conditon and the way they have just shown up instantly raises some questions to me as it should to you also. These pieces will eventually sell for some big money to someone sometime, so the money is always a reason for these to be accepted. There are fake carbines, fake 02 fat barrels, fake K-date navies, fake 1916 navies, just to mention a few, and the workmanship just continues to get better and better on them. If they could be built once they can be built again. Just an interesting observation, but an unknown variation of a 45 carbine shows up in mint condition, and next an unknown variation of a prototype shows up in mint condition. No history? Hmmmmm could there be a pattern here? --- Bill
