1902 Presentation Cabine w/ H.S.M. On Chamber Question

Looking through my Lugers at Random book and came across this on page 79, has it even been determined whose Initials this presentation piece was made for, I know this book is dated and thought maybe new information has been acquired .

Ralph Shattuck always said it was Hiram Maxim - he told me he picked it up as one of his first large purchases

Besides the story, there is no documentation that I know of that states who this presentation was made for....

here it is for sale at rock island

Hi Kerry, If you ever come across one with N.D.R., let me know, I might be interested.

HCR (Henry Caldwell Roan) Luger Carbine #9112C. In 1888, Reynolds (tobacco company) formed a formal partnership with Mr. Will and the company bookkeeper (Secretary Treasurer), Henry Roan. Reynolds served as President with 75% ownership, and Mr. Will and Henry Roan divided the remainder.
