... or be prepared to get a big "fake", for instance the Navy Luger pictured below is not mine but it has been for sale for over 3 or 4 years now, and costs the equivalent of 7,000 $

Back to counterfeit stamps...

Numrich, Sarco, and eBay all have 'reproduction' WaA stamps for sale...I was looking for Luger stock iron and noticed a seller offering a variety of repro stamps...

Here's a sampling, for educational purposes...

From the 'grainy' look, I first thought these may be castings...But now I'm thinking EDM...

It still costs more than $1500 if you use original parts!
