To whom it may concern,
dear Luger-fans,

My name is Andreas Hauser and I'm a journalist writing forn an
Austrian
magazine in Innnsbruck/Tyrol called ECHO. At the moment I'm on a story
for
our next number (20.01.2004) about Georg Luger, who is quite unknown in
his
home country Tyrol. Thereby I'm asking you and the forum concerning
this man
for any kind of information (if possible in German), fotos (300 dpi,
20x30
cm) and other kind of material or a person dealing with Luger in
Austria,
Germany or Switzerland. And I would be delighted if you can pass this
over
to other members of your forum.

Yours sincerly

Andreas Hauser

Anyone wishing to contribute to this article may communicate directly with the requestor at the email address shown...

I mailed them the contact info of the Dutch publisher Martens & De Vries work for.

John, did you send them the information we have here in "History of the Luger"? In addition, his birthday is March 6, 1849!!

Kind of an interesting aside....

In some of the circles I run around in, if a guy flies in from across the country to tell you something, everyone says, "Holy crap, that guy really knows his ****!"

If a guy from the next County tells you the same thing, everyone says, "Yeah right... that guy don't know ****!"

Distance = Knowledge

Just an occasional observation,

Jack,
your so right. Here I have lived my life in and around Detroit but I have never been inside Henry Fords Greenfield Village.

I have passed the request on the the folks at www.iwoe.at and asked them to pass some information on to the requestor.
IWOE are the Austrian gun rights organization and are very experienced in dealing with the press as they are often not very positive on guns.
