pins for early lugers

Edward Tinker · 10-28-2016, 11:07 AM

okay, I have picked these up and pretty sure some are fake.

i know i am using my crappy old cell phone while my good one is in the shop (hopefully to be replaced).

thoughts on these?

1, 2, 3, 4

Not enthusiastic about the long one and I am a little iffy on 4 too. The other two look OK. Let me know if you are going to sell one of those two.

Ron, will send you a note, will try to remember next few days. I thought that the big one was the only real one...

that was supposed to be funny, didn't sound that way.

You can tell if real or not by how they look, but I simply could not remember how to tell...

Hmmm, here is a 'better' picture of them side by side

The crappy ones sold by Sarco and Numrich years ago would bend at the first hammer tap.
