45 cal Luger

[Johnny Peppers]

Charles Kenyon's book "LUGERS AT RANDOM" is a great book, but like all others it cannot hope to remain current or contain all information. New information is continually coming out, and there is a very great possibility that Mr. Kenyon was not aware of this pistol when he published his book. Scott Meadows is a friend of mine, and even though he as been a collector and researcher of US military pistols for many years he was not aware of the .45 Luger in the Norton Gallery until I told him of it's existence.

Mr. Norton was an early Louisiana oilman, and in addition to collection Remington and Russell paintings and bronzes, early American silver service, and early art of the west, he, collected firearms. If you are ever close to the Shreveport, Louisiana area which is approximately 180 miles east of Dallas, the gallery is well worth an hour or two of your time.
