FGS Swiss Bern Luger...

This one certainly seems promising and the price is reasonable...

I would certainly ask for more photos and have a bunch of condition quesitons answered...but if I did not have one in my safe already, I think I would do so myself...

Ken Clark is always most helpful via emails and phone...

Hi Eric,

FGS has a good reputation for making their customers happy.

I know of one buyer who returned a piece after almost 1-2 months...and Doug/Ken made the return and an exchange for another piece. Buyer hand selected the other piece in person at a SOS show.

One of many questions I always ask about a luger I cannot see in person is if it is import stamped, where the stamp occurs, and how large.

I usually send my standard 10-12 questions via email to a seller about a luger...and will not send money until I get their replies. Even if I do it over the phone, I will send a confirming email after I hang up...

I perfer not to have import stamps, but that is just me...

The folks at Simpsons are using a very small stamp...I mean small...and carefully hidden along the circular cut-out at the bottom of the grip strap where the magazine bottom "button" would seat...
