Norm, your reservations are justifiable when dealing with unknown persons and you're unable to inspect the item yourself.

I recently engaged in an exchange of e-mails concerning a Luger and backed off when I felt that the information being offered was a little too coy. I asked for pictures and what I received were worthless for evaluation purposes. I asked about bore condition and was told that the gun shot accurately. The Luger was reportedly refinished but all markings were described as sharp so I asked how badly the sharp edges were rounded from the buffing and the reply didn't mention anything about buffing or if any corners had been rounded. At that point I replied that I was no longer interested. My questions were expicit but the answers were not, offering nothing upon which a good decision could be made.
