Why was the "X" marked on RC / VoPo Lugers?

This has certainly drifted away from the original topic I posted.

I think that the one thing coming out of this thread is that to combat the boosting and faking of any of our collector firearms, we need good databases, documentation and the ability to compare and evaluate known original copies.

As values rise, and there is money to be made, it's safe to assume that people will work to defraud collectors.

If those of us with experience work together, we can combat and defeat those that would victimize us.

Perhaps a new constructive thread on that issue is due. This thread feels like it's had it's day...
