Carbine On Cover Of Reese Luger Tips

[Norme]

I have to agree with Don here, the idea that a German gunsmith, particularly one employed at the DWM factory, would assemble a carbine with three sights is beyond absurd. Also, I can't agree with Dick's assertion that three sights are "relatively common on 1920 era Artillery and Carbine Lugers". I have yet to come across one, other than Eric's.

I also have Reese's Luger Tips, with the 3-sight carbine on the cover. Reese acknowledges that Ralph Shattuck is "...the top Luger dealer in the United States whose Lugers can be seem throughout this publication".

Given that Eric bought his carbine from Ralph, I think it is quite possible that the carbine Eric bought is the one on the Luger Tips cover, courtesy of Ralph.
