Need Help w/ Provenance & Various Other Questions

[JCreasy]

Thanks. Why don't you email me off line and let me give you my number? Be easier for me. Stratojkc@yahoo.com.

I am reading about stuff being faked, but I am pretty sure this one was around before there was an interest in faking, if you know what I mean. Plus, it was not sold to me and I am not looking to sell it for a profit. (In fact, for family reasons, I couldn't sell it unless it was worth a gajillion).

So, I believe it must be authentic, albeit cobbled together. Though, you have me wondering about the holster. It fits well and looks like other Luger holsters and the stamp does not seem added... I just wonder. I am also discovering this is kind of a different breed of cat from Colt '45s or 1911s.

In the office this afternoon and will start trying to take some PICs with my phone.

Let me know and I'll send you that Starbucks Card.

Thanks, again. It'd be cool to tell my stepdad what he actually gave me and a little bit of history on it.
