OR did you determine it was fake by the serial number, if you did, sorry. I thought you all said it was fake for the lack of the 2nd stamp, the patent stamp.
This first picture of it bears a mark identical to a mint Stoeger on this forum. I am trying to upload the actual images of that MINT Stoeger on this very forum that bears the exact same stamp as this one,(I copied the pictures) it does not have the Luger registration patent mark, and no one on that thread said that gun was fake. Just wondering why Ron thought this mark was fake, I thought it was also. BUT my question, why did none of you call out that other Stoeger? The files I have of this gun are bitmap and too large, and I am trying to find the thread but have no success. Are you mad, LOL. I will eventually figure out how to post those images.

If you are addressing my comments, you've gotten way ahead of yourself. I never stated that an authentic Stoeger had to have the second registration stamp nor did I ever mention the serial number. I am stating an opinion based on the really poor quality of the engraving itself, (letters of varying size, not exactly straight and of a quality and depth that tells me it was done with a pantograph or Trophy Store quality engraving equipment. Certainly not by Stoeger Arms). I also never weighed in on the thread you recently posted, so how could I have a varying opinion? While I did not comment on the other "Stoeger", I can certainly see that the engraving is of a much more professional quality and would have raised fewer initial alarm bells than the example under discussion.
"Are you mad, LOL"...what kind of question is that?
