Collecting engraved Luger
Pistols or caveat emptor!
by Klaus Leibnitz
In the last years decorated Luger pistols have appeared on the market, mainly in the US,
but also in Europe and they all appear to be forgeries. This does not mean that the pistols
themselves are forgeries, but it looks as if the engraving or decoration had been done
many years later in order to increase the value of these guns. The following paper tries to
approach the problem of increasing the value of old military weapons by decorating them
from an analytical point of view. After having done this, the fakes are clearly shown for
what they really are, old service pistols nicely made up.
