Neat items on Ebay

I have had one transaction with Mr Kontos. It was about six years ago that I bought a 1916 DWM LP08 from him for a decent price. When I received it I immeadiately noted that there was no serial number on the barrel. I called Mr Kontos and he allowed as how he had not noticed the missing serial number. The pistol was returned and my payment refunded. I don't recall whether I took all the shipping liability.

As Mr Kontos says he has had thousands of Lugers and this is apparently one of his businesses one has to question either his expertise or his business sense with a transaction like mine. I do not know that it was a dishonest act but then I never know whether a merchant is intentionally trying to cheat me when I catch him short-changing me.
