Swiss Luger #26

Ron,

Number 26 is what got me onto the Forum originally. It walked into the small gun shop on Marco Island, Florida and we were attemting to authenticate it back then. There were many caveats, not the least of which was an off center number 26 on the front of the frame, which although completely clean, led some to believe that a first digit might have been removed. I walked away from the gun when I realized two other Lugers the owner of "#26" had were clearly spurious and he resisted any attempt to seriously have it looked at, claiming he had sent the gun off to Simpson's, from whom I never heard any opinion back from the owner. It was at this time that I had written Mr. Regnier.
If there is any way to go back to my first ten posts, or so, photos of this gun should still be there.
