That is how we learn by exposing fakes and reproductions. Maybe we can help others avoid these mistakes. I have to agree a reproduction. I also agree if George says reproduction take it to the bank. Bill

Gentlemen,
As far as I am concerned, there has not been opened cans of worms or anything else in this thread. I came here to ask advice and opinions, I appreciate your honesty in offering just that - thanks to all of you! Balder |

Gentlemen,
The deal was renegotiated, I ended up with the gun only. I am still wondering how many LPs were made by DWM in 1916 - can anybody help? Balder |

Balder, Surely you didn't leave the 32 round trommelmagazine behind?

In deed I did, once the seller and I realized its real value - which hit us during the renegotiating process. Although interesting and in excellent condition, I have other hobbies that I need to spend that kind of money on. Two motorcycles and (soon) a new sail yacht take up a lot of my money as well as spare time. But I am quite happy with having the pistol only. I have been wanting an LP ever since one of my father's war-time friends showed me and let me fire his when I was around 11-12 years old. In the UK in 1942, he was issued a DWM 1917 LP by the SOE before he was sent on clandestine operations in German-occupied Norway. I've been trying to buy that particular pistol from the late agent's son, but he wants to keep it - no surprise. Balder Some better pictures of my new baby: |

Glad you got the gun. Now with regard to the sail yacht, I am sure you know that the definition of a boat is "a hole in the water into which you pour money" !

Ron,
Thanks. A friend of mine came up with another good definition of how it feels to be the owner of a sailing vessel: "It's like standing fully dressed in an ice cold shower while tearing up 100-dollar bills". Oh well. I know what I am facing, been there before. Balder |
