Robert, I think that Matt is giving you "some" sage advise. It is true without TRUE provenance, only pay for the item in question period! I have photo's of a highly engraved presentation Luger with provenance that is a FAKE! This gun was verified as original by the seller (Simpsons) and has changed hands several times in the low 5 figure range. Again just goes to show that you buy the gun and not the story.
As for Matt's comment that you do not have any recourse I believe him to be incorrect. You gave the man a honest gun. He in turn gave you something that is bogus. If he took a lie detector test I would bet he would fail miserably! The story he wove could be used against him in court as intent to defraud. Plain and simple.
