Krausewerk Lugers???

[Pete Ebbink]

Hello All,

This was a very intersting and very informative exchange.

The only thing I think would have made it a bit more "appropriate" would have been if the original poster had not mention the seller/shop by name.

This same discussion could have started with "I saw an interesting luger at a local gun shop...".

The original poster would have gotten all the same great technical advice from our experts with which he could continue his "in person" discussions with the seller.

If we continue to choose to "accuse" a seller on our public Forum of passing on a luger that "may not be right", then should we not do the ethical thing by e-mailing the affected seller with our Forum posting, so the seller can see the accusations and have a chance to reply ? And maybe have a chance to rebute ?

I personally think this would have been a great technical, learning discussion without even knowing who is actually selling the luger.

The Forum member who started the post would have been armed with enough info. to decide not to buy the gun.

On the other hand, if the report that Mr. Krause did state he welcomes all challenges to this luger's authenticity, maybe the orignal poster could go back and take ditigal photos and ask Mr. Krause if posting these photos on the Forum would be "ok". Mr. Krause should also be invited to our Forum so he could participate in the evaluation and discussions about this gun's merits.

Just my thoughts... <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
