Gentlemen,
Is this tool offered on e-bay original or a repro and if original would it be from the Imperial era? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luger-Early-...item20f23edaf7 Thank you, Ricardo |

Revshop is a known faker/booster. I would avoid doing business with them.

Revshop has lots of cleaned up parts - but he also carries real stuff.... I have bought stuff from him once or twice and I have steered clear of him. You have to know what you are buying. knowledge is everything

It has an Imperial acceptance, a crown over underlined S with some crossed out numbers on some numbers on the backside. It is a typical Imperial tool which was used by the police during the Weimar time.

He lists a lot of (way overpriced IMHO) grips. I asked him once if a pair was refinished--because I noticed mistakes in the checkered pattern that were obviously a result of refreshing--and he replied that he didn't know, they came from someone else, and they were "perfect". Codswallop!!

Well, I just came back from church and was about to buy it when I noticed someone beat me to the punch. Maybe I will get lucky next time and find something original n my price range.

Okay- can you give me opinions on this tool and what the numbers on it mean? Would it be WW1 or later?
Thank you, Ricardo |

Ricardo, the new ebay tool has a Mauser shape- so it is made in 1935 or later...
I do not know if you can read German but may be it can help.... You can try: http://militaria-fundforum.de./showthread.php?t=243112 |

Klaus, thank you for your guidance. I just located a proofed Luger tool for what looks like a reasonable price from a reputable dealer. Not as good a price as the first tool but still for a lot less than most others that I have seen.
