Ed,
Haven't had time to take it out and see how it will do.

Wizard,
I'm still turning over the .45 in my mind... May I ask what markings it has?
Thanks!

Alvaro,
The only visiable markings are the serial number (10) on the front of the receiver, DWM on the middle toggle link (this is optional, and an intertwined GL on the rear of the rear toggle link. The serial number is marked on various parts not visiable when the pistol is assemblied.

why dont you show us some pictures of it?

sverre :)

I only have a Kodak Brownie box camera and I can't even take good picture with it. Will try to borrow a digital camera and post some pictures.

Wizard,

A flatbed scanner (if you have one) can be used to take reasonably good images of the sides and the top... just place the gun on the glass and cover it with a white cloth before scanning.

John,

My El-Cheapo flatbed scanner won't make a decent image of a gun. The only part in focus is the surface laying on the screen. It is decent on photos and pretty good on type.

Al, the scanner I have used for 3-dimensional images is a MUSTEK 600 EP Plus that I paid $25.00 for during an advertising promotion several years ago...The images of my two lugers in the old Owner's Corner folder with my name were scanned, not photographed... It is all in the technique.

Try using higher resolution, try greyscale instead of color and use say 300 or 400 dpi for 3-D Objects... and see what happens...

Disregard file sizes for the time being and concentrate on image quality... Always save your image in the JPEG format (*.jpg) and if you have the option, save it in the best quality.

Thanks John,

My flatbed scanner was free with the computer--I think was an excessive price. That one is now in FL. The scanner I am messing with now is a Lexmark that you have to feed items into. It sort of works, but the slot won't take a Luger. I'll mess with the flatbed next fall and maybe with your help I can make it work.

Al,

even with a manufacturing hammer forge, I doubt you could make a luger flat enough to fit that scanner! :D I agree that you better wait until you return to Florida... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />

I about split a gut AGE!!!! I could just see you saying, darn computer guys, well I'll get this scanned, with a big hammer in your hand...

:D <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />

Ed,

Evidently that made your day. The hammer was John S's idea--I guess we made a funny.

I have been working outside all day, putting in underground electrical lines, so yes, I needed some comedy and it just struck me as funny.

The nice Luger .45 copy fabricate Mr. Karl Nedbal from V�¶sendorf near Vienna, Austria. Some pictures are on my website (sorry, in Czech language..) http://www.hoba.cz/index.php?c=clane...d=view&id=282. The pictured gun was sold three years before for $ 7500 and now is in possession of my friend. It is nice shooter and great experience.

Hoba, glad to see you here!

Ed

Jan Balcar,

Would it be possible for you to send me larger images of the .45 caliber Luger... or are these the largest images that you have?
