Big Time Russian Price...

This will be a little off topic but it is something that has bothered me for a couple of months. So forgive me.

At the last OGCA in Milan there was a guy selling a model 1914 navy Luger. His price was $2000 so it was certainly worth a look see. A quick examination revealed that not only was the gun altered it was illegal. The serial number on the front of the frame was clearly altered to make it match the rest of the parts. This is against federal law. There was a guy standing nearby who was seriouly considering buying it and I showed him the discrepencies. I saved this guy and I feel good about that. But I was also standing in front of the individual who did the deed. I didn't say anything, but I wonder to this day if I should have mouthed off to that person. For forum members who are also members of OGCA, the individual that I am talking about has a table next to the door of the second building. He also had a restored 1906 Navy that I didn't bother to look too closely at. If he is willing to commit a criminal act on one gun, he'll do it on another.

There, I got that off of my chest and it made me feel a little better.
