I won't let just anyone monkey with any Luger I have OR hold a holster. Too many people are just ham fisted knuckleheads with no respect for antiques. You can't tell who is who. I found out years ago if you hand a holster to someone they immediately peer, poke and prod into it like they are looking for a hidden hundred dollar bill. No care taken. So I NEVER hand out a holster to anyone but a trusted collector.

But I agree with the above..the dealer should open up any specific pistol to get a look at the insides. "Here's my money, show me it is matching in and out and you have a sale". sure sounds reasonable to me! Especially on a $2,500+ purchase.
