Greetings, again
Ah, it is a New Day - and I'll begin here with a very sincere apology to Herr "Warbird" last night - for my
attitude - which was brought about by my realization of knowing He, in his assessment of my Pristine
appearing  "E/F" piece - to be totally accurate. I had, via my own limited research, subsequent to purchase
of course, combined with a previous (03/10/12) experience with the same seller - formed doubts re the
authenticity of my HSc. Such doubts being the primary reason for my original posting's Subject/Title - I knew,
or at least expected I was likely to receive exactly the reply rendered by Warbird - and was not all too surprised
to have received same. This was subsequent to having purchased my copy of Warbird's co-authored volume.
His statement re the Truth being a bitter pill to swallow is most accurate also. 
Now, am not certain if what I'm about to state now is "Verboten" here - if so, kindly delete this reply.
On 10 March, 2012, I took possession of a BYF'41 Luger, purchased on Guns America for $2500.00 -
from a seller utilizing the name of Mister Luger. Upon taking delivery at my local Post Office, I opened the
package immediately upon entering my truck in the parking lot. IT was absolutely beautiful, TOO Absolutely
Beautiful - not a scratch, perfect bluing at the muzzle, on the side plate, on both grip straps - I field stripped
it in the truck - perfect bluing within - slide and frame rails & grooves, magazine channel - all perfect, unmarred
bluing. After a telephonic discussion w/Herr Mr. Luger, it went back - I'd swapped the '41 for what was a less
than absolutely perfect, but bearing evidence of at least original use - BYF'42 - which I have yet today.
I've viewed Many of Mr. Luger's offerings on GA in the past five years and have taken many opportunities to utilize
the "Ask the Seller A Question" to make comment to Mr. Luger of the bluing over obvious pitting on various pieces,
the lighter greenish blue of Cold Blue having been slopped over various areas of "former" wear. I've received very few
(None) replies. Mr. Luger, in conversation states re-bluing is not just re-bluing - but "Restoration" - and what his buying
public desires.
To conclude my ramblings here - all my frustrations with my HSc have been entirely of my own doings - I viewed It on GA,
was & Is positively the nicest HSc I've ever viewed (Hint) - here comes the Punch Line - I purchased It, on telephone, from
Mr. Luger - it was/is EXACTLY as the BYF'41 - Totally Reblued/"Restored" - and further "Enhanced/Upgraded" to E/F status.
The SOB did it to me twice - and it's entirely my own damned fault!!
I sent Mr. Luger a much less than charming Email last evening - Much, Much less than charming. He, as a gracious act, has
replied stating he'll gladly refund all funds - if I never attempt to do business with him again. Ya Think??
I might just keep the HSc - as a Reminder - should I again need One
Thanks for listening.

Warbird:
Apology is, of course, accepted.  Emotions can run high in our chosen pastime and I always try to let someone down as easily as possible with bad news.  Anyway, thanks for purchasing our book and you can be sure that all the facts are in there without being "refinished".  I/we are always here to answer questions, preferably before a purchase is made!

Ah, jcorl/Jim
I thank you for the offer - had thought last night to attempt to reduce the size of
each pertinent photo - to enable my uploading Here - by that time I'd had enough of the entire issue.
As things stand - for what purpose - do you think the members Here would be interested
in viewing a totally "Restored" Commercial HSc  - which has been "Enhanced" by the addition
of a Fake (at least definitely not applied by the "Good Guys"/I'm a ins Stadt Bremen geboren War Brat) E/F ??
Vielen Dank

Members can learn as much from a fake as they can from a correct original example, if you need a reason to post pictures. Also, I commend you for not only sharing your story but for naming the seller who seems to be purposely trying to deceive and selling boosted items.

Regards,
