What do I have here?

LOL Good answers. You guys don't miss a beat!

I had the idea in my mind since that guy posted on eBay the wrong picture of the back of a Luger holster that made it look like it was stamped "P38".

I "photoshopped" the rifles onto the first photo and added the second two photos for good measure. Call it a tribute to our favorite controversial lugers.

The lesson here for me is to actually inspect each gun I receive from someone I don't know. Often I feel like good photos were provided and will not look at it closely. It would be easy for someone to "force match" a number, especially to an internal part, eliminate a grip chip or scratch, or misrepresent the condition of the gun using photo editing software. Or they could be honest and just included a wrong photo.

I don't own any of the items in the photos, though I would like a "Spandau" if I could pick one up for a shooter price.

Have a great day!!!
