Fleur de Lys marked lugers

I can't speak to the authenticity of the guns, but it's my understanding that no fleur de lis marked Lugers were produced by DWM. However, whoever fabricated this set did a beautiful job, they are superb! As to the fitted case, I can speak with some authority. George is quite correct, as I know from first hand experience. In the Antique and Estate Jewelry business, retrofitting the interiors of vintage jewelry boxes is commonplace. In fact there is a lively market for old boxes, particularly the very distinctive red and gold ones marked "Cartier". Regards, Norm
