A battery does not make electricity it stores it just the same as a capacitor.
You charge either with electrons and the way they are stored differ not the end result.

I sorta liked that too...And I was browsing eBay and found what is probably the 'adjustable' front sight blade used on the Buxton .22 Luger...Or one close to it... :)

You are just totally wrong.:eek:

Better go back to electricity school.:rolleyes:

You are confusing "re-chargable" or "storage" batteries and true batteries.
A "battery" converts chemical energy to electricity(i.e. "electrons"), the chemicals are used up in the process and such batteries cannot be "re-charged" as the chemical reaction is not reversible. For example the old manganese dioxide and more recent "alkaline" batteries- the ones you throw away when discharged.

The most common storage battery is the lead/acid battery found in cars; in the last 50 years or so, other various "rechargeable" storage batteries have come into the market- based on chemical pairs such as : nickel-cadmium, Lithium ion, Nickel-hydride, and other ingenious combinations.
Side reactions and byproducts of the charging/re-charging process eventually render these storage batteries inefficient and they must be replaced.

Just to stay a little on topic, lugers do not require batteries. ;)

Yes, quite right- that is the front sight found on the Colt Woodsman of the early years. A fine, small adjustable sight for elevation adjustment.

I'm thinking(always dangerous) that this may actually be a .22 conversion/creation, and the hammer is simply there to operate the toggle to charge the pistol.:confused:

At least one Luger did...The infamous and oft-listed 'Bodyguard Luger' supposedly used by Hitler's bodyguards...But the cable-linked belt-pack battery is never listed. :(

TBLAP has some great pics of the flashlight Luger itself, on page 1682 of the DVD. :)
