Amen. I have been collecting for 50 years also and couldn't agree with you more. I think it's time to get real. As long as we keep demanding perfect lugers the fakers will continue. These firearms were used, in a war even or maybe two wars, therefore expect them to be used. I keep reading where shooters are replacing parts before shooting their collectors. Not sure the German army had that luxury. When I started collecting lugers a 98%+ luger with all matching numbers and 2 matching mags was so rare I really didn't expect to find one. Now they seem to be everywhere . Hmmm. Bill
