This is sad!
 

Could this be the other luger that was tested for the U.S. I have always read that the second one was PROBABLY destoyed. I have always had a problem with that idea. Being a gun enthusiust I hate to see any gun destoyed. Making these guns must have been a labor of love for Mr. Luger. Considering that he personaly overseen their production. I have always found it hard to beleive that he just took it home ad trashed it. Could it be that he had reworked it to his own creative piece.

I saddens me to read this forum and see that because many of you have not seen it in print there for it cannot be. Shame on so many of you like this post of youdon't want to know.

How can we be collectors (historians in a way) and have such closed minds?
