Tom, You so sternly state, "these idispositions of the guns are well documented,!!!! If so where?,is the disposion of each gun documented? Are you forgetting the Bannerman showpieces,What ever Maybe In Rons' Reseach, we know how many pieces were slated for which camp and outpost, The conditions of these pieces we never recorded, Im sure, as you are a Navy man, some, the good ones disappeared into History, some surfacing, others not, Some were bought as we do, for personal colllectios, My piece came from Ralph Shattucks' personal collection, and is identical in every was to our new members Both appear mint with some very slight wear at the toggle. Yes a great majority show wear and long time usage, a perfect example is our member who rides south of the border on his site. He displays aq test luger and holster, whose condition is probobly the same that eventually surfaced, lost or destroyed And then, on the other spectrum,Thered are lugers that almost appear mint,Im sure a number existed in excellant condition, like those fit for sale through Bannerman and Sons,are now, it appears finally surfacing,I was last weekoffered, for the entire rig, Luger and Holster twelve thousand dollars, which by the way, i respetivly turned down, May I respectically remind you, This is a hobby to some, a compulsion, to others, Eric J. Bruning, BA, JD and Doctorite of Law, Villanove School of Law, 1981, not that, that matters
