A current offering out there in the surf zone. It appears to me that someone took a really nice 1918 Erfurt (with a correct matching magazine) and ruined it for perpetuity.

To only be outdone by this spectacular piece of workmanship...imagine having the opportunity to buy both. In the same week. 1.jpg

I got the ban hammer and I didn't even openly question it. Some WTS get a lot of banter and other get that treatment.

What forum was this gents? I've seen some heated discussion over these, but it's the first time I recall seeing this particular gun (at least all of it...the 'head' may have been part of a picture group at some point).

Alrighty then...a ban for you, and a ban for you!

The older I get, the more I realize I don't know. There were some seemingly very uninformed folks in that thread.

I see they took off the ridiculous opening bid, and Buy it Now, and turned it into a penny auction with no reserve. Will be interesting to see where it ends up. My SWAG is going to be around $2k or more. But this day in age, who knows.
 
They sold the ridiculously marked 'SS' gun above. About $1k when you add all the fees and taxes. Looks to be an early commercial gun, so hopefully someone ended up with a decent shooter (and a great...LOL...conversation piece at the range).

For reference...add ~$400 to that for taxes, compliance, shipping. Almost $5k for a terribly wrong gun. Screenshot (1144).png
 
I guess the seller got his price, and some poor soul is stuck with a junk, fake "deathshead" Luger. You can't save everyone, I tried and its impossible. Even people that read forums/books and are shown the evidence will still interpret the info to fit their narrative to "get the goods".
