Portuguese M2 question

Thanks Douglas!
Still leaves roughly 1495 missing guns

I know some guns were defaced but honestly I have only seen maybe 20 in the past 10 years.

There is something missing to the Portuguese story.
It is unfortunate that more research has not been done, same goes for the Brazilian contract.

We suffer from lack of interest but much has yet to be discovered-- interesting to me

Show me one early picture of the Portuguese Navy with luger side arms? Any body got one?

Mine is defaced # 2703. Make it 21.
And I still have no proved explanation for the defaced pistols both Army and Navy.
