This might be a "buy the story" type gun. You would think they could have ditched the Wilson Combat magazine for the picture.

There is a lot more "story" there than there is gun. Why would anyone ever run an auction with a claim like that, and not show the letter of authenticity they claim exists? And then, if the letter actually exists, could it be authenticated?

I've got a great bridge to sell. Let me tell you the story...

It may have been left there for a purpose; an attempt to convince lookers that there's nothing fishy about the auction. Some will look and think anyone trying to boost value surely would have swapped the magazine. All it takes is two suckers for an auction to shoot into the stratosphere.
