Viewed the 1902 AE fat barrel today.

Doug G,
I am not questioning your opinion of this Luger, but, as I have often stated here, one of the first things that I look at is the condition of the Locking Bolt. The Locking Bolt on this gun appears to be perfectly flat with very nice beveled edges. Almost in too good a condition considering the condition of the rest of the gun. Could this be a replacement? If some restorer redid this gun, I would expect some rounding of the flat surface and the absence of beveled edges. At least some dings in it.
