The Parabellum is back web site

It would almost tempt us into beginning a new chapter in Luger history:

"The Parabellum Returns! --the 21th Century Parabellum"

Hello fellows,
a reader of our book reports another Luger Artillery made under French control in Mauser in 1945.
I am quite happy of this find, in fact it is a third variation (the one with the star ) sn. 455.

I have in my collection the LP08 number 456 therefore it is nice to know that these two consecutive lugers are LP08.

Please refer to the web site www.theparabellumisback.com to update the chapter and table of the book with this new serial number.

Cheers,
Mauro

Not a bad idea, Gerben! We need to get the facts about Lugers produced after Mauser shut down their production. The Houston Lugers, the ones made by Mike Krauss, The Norinco prototypes--all are steeped in misinformation and urban legend, to some extent at least. The update's info about Herr Werle's pistols is great, but it may not be as handy for the European authors to research the pistols made across the Atlantic, so I think it may be mostly a job for a North American...

(Also, thanks for the newspaper article. Now I have seen a photo of Gerd Schön, and know what he looks like!)
