U. S. Army Luger

[ToggleTop]

I bought this envelope several years ago from a Gun List add. It came out of Grassy Valley, CA. I always felt it was a real bit of history especially since the Luger was being advertised as a US Army pistol. It is also a little hard to imagine that this letter is 100 years old this month and us collectors are so enthused over it. As far as the distance of 2000 yds. goes, I remember the warning they use to or still do put on a box of .22 cal cartridges. It said, Warning: "Be Careful Range One Mile". Maybe the 2000 yds. refers to a distance like that. I did see a western movie one time where Robert Duvall aimed a rifle at about 45 degrees and killed his man with a shot in the head! I guess things like that could happen? Anyway, I am glad everyone enjoyed seeing the information. I thought the little saying at the bottom was pretty catchy, "If if is good enough for "Uncle Sam" twil suit you". A bunch of those $25.00 lugers would sure suit me today!
Thanks again for all the replys, it makes the effort to do it very worth while!
