Many 'missing' Lugers waiting to be found?

No on Hitler

There are lots of guns that are 'missing', its just so hard to prove.

Test lugers (Us) given as presents
The mauser and Walther factory collections were ransacked, so, who knows what is sitting at the bottom of the ocean or in uncle Harry's attic...

I know of one I'd dearly like to find....in 1903, the Lt. Governor of our fair state , James Tillman, having taken offense to numerous editorials written in the State newspaper, gunned down N.G. Gonzales, said papers' editor at lunchtime on Main St. with a "long barreled Luger Pistol"... Mr Gonzales, a manly sort of man, replied to the .30 cal insult to the chest with, "shoot again, you coward!" , a request with which Mr Tillman declined to comply. Nevertheless, Mr Gonzales expired 4 days later. Despite numerous witnesses, Mr Tillman was exonerated by a jury of his peers, who evidently preferred gunplay in the streets to uppity newspaper writers. I only assume the Luger was returned to its' rightful owner.
