What nerve!
Simpsons is asking $ 3000.00 for a Navy that they admit in the description is a FAKE!

Read the description on Simpson's website. They spell out the bogus aspects in detail.
I am also a bit astounded that the asking price for this fabricated "Navy" is nearly $3000. A high price for a shooter. On the other hand, if the rear toggle is an original, that is worth a few bucks.

here ya go, Postie
http://www.simpsonltd.com/product_in...e1cb81c0d85f62 Yep Ron , I'd guess an original Navy sight is worth ( to someone) around 800 bucks, given repros are about 400.......still.....it wasnt that long ago a guy here was selling a very mildly buffed reblued REAL Navy for 1800.00 ! |

Legally He is doing nothing wrong. Under the UCC Mr Simpson only has a duty to advise those that are hidden patent defects hes aware of and the buyer has a duty to use due diligance in purchaseing this luger after your sure you want it. Your hands and wallet are not unknowing prisoners. He supplies a better picture and description than most. Buying a luger you have the option of a usual inspection, Believe me, Take advantage and if your unsure or buyers remourse return it IMMEDIATLY as each day you hold but the sellers cost continue and it can't be sold. Most don't realize he doesnt own these guns. He is selling them for owners like you. The original owner is most likely one of us and may be reading this! I think he provided some of the most accurate descripions almost anywhere!
His Reputation means more to Him and His family than one sale! Eric Esq |

Thank You. After dealing with over 100 clients at one time as a Personal Injury attorney I learned it was easier to get $50k from Allstate then $500 from a client!

I don't know why Simpsons would even offer something like that. Some time ago I bought a six inch barrel Luger from Simpsons for something like $1,200 and it was like the poor man's way of getting a Navy look-alike. It was not advertised as a Navy Luger. As I recall, it was listed as a 1920 Commercial. Whatever, it turned out to be a nice looking shooter.

Why dont you put this behind you and get back having happy luger hunting! Justice Thurgood Marshall our first black Supreme Justice appointed by President Johnson was quoted as saying "IF YOU KEEP LOOKING BACK YOU WILL TRIP OVER THE FUTURE" I sincerely wish you luck in completeing your business You deserve the best!
